2------www.whatzup.com------March 14, 2013 whatzup Volume 17, Number 32 ith another Whammy Awards Show in the books, one would assume that it’s time for us to move on to the next thing, and that’s true, but only to an extent. Before we pack everything Whammy-related away Weach year, we like to go over what worked and what didn’t and think about how we can improve things next time around. We know we made one good decision this year: holding the show at C2G Music Hall. We wanted people to leave the show feeling that they’d been to a great party, and judging from what we’ve seen and heard, that’s exactly what happened. C2G may be the perfect venue for this event, and our thanks goes out to the entire C2G family. ONLY AT As we have mentioned elsewhere, we had some worries going into a new MARCH 17 venue, which is why we chose to make this year’s event by invitation only. We’ve heard from plenty of music fans and readers who were none too pleased J K O’DONNELL’S OPEN 11 AM - 11 PM by this decision, and we want to assure them that they will indeed have the opportunity to attend next year’s show. PARTY TENT OPEN FROM 11 AM - 10 PM, OPEN TO ALL AGES And so we move on to other things, like the whatzup/Wooden Nickel Battle of $5 FOR ADULTS, 12 & UNDER FREE | COVER INCLUDES ONE FREE DRINK the Bands X and all the regular stuff we do each week – like bringing you what there is to do in and around Fort Wayne, Indiana.
