Tatangelo grabs Griot Drum Award
November 21st, 2008 by Wade Tatangelo in News
Last night I picked up a Griot Drum Award — 1st Place, Print, Features (circ. below 100,000) — for my United Front story.
I then proceeded to get thoroughly wasted at Tamiami Bar, where I watched blues badass Papa Mali, and then continued my imbibing over at State Theatre, where The Toadies were playing.
And then, and this was the killer, we guzzled whiskey at The Emerald until last call. Yes, sir, I’m hurting in that old familiar way.

Congrats, Wade, on the award and the blue ribbon hangover. One of these days you’re gonna have to teach me to party like a rock star…

Thanks Max. And thank you, Lorna. I’ll take ya out drinking some night but you have to promise to drink a minimum of three whiskey beverages — and not puke. Well, at least not on me.
