The gays, the straights and the ???'s were out in full force on Sunday night at
PAPER's first annual Nightlife Awards. The ceremony took place at the Hiro
Ballroom at the Maritime Hotel. Amstel Light and Tequila Corazon flowed freely
and the lovely little robot statues came courtesy of Kid Robot.
Overheard: "I want to thank all the boys in the room I made out with… Don't all stand up -- that would be embarrassing." – Sarah Lewitinn, aka Ultragrrrl, during one of her (three) acceptance speeches.
