2008 Grabby Awards: You Were Not There

What's that you say? You had a fun holiday weekend and everything, but you couldn't help but feel like there was something missing when you woke up this morning? We'll wager that incomplete feeling in your life has something to do with not knowing who took home trophies from the 2008 Grabby Awards at IML in Chicago. Lucky for us, the crazy kids (or one of them anyway) at Gay Porn Blog and The Sword serve up some updates on all the goings-on, though we're going to bet that you'll be less interested in finding out that Raging Stallion's "Grunts" took top honors all around than by the pics of Damien Crosse blowing Erik Rhodes at the afterparty. Either way, your week is now complete. (gaypornblog.com + thesword.com; photo by Steve Cruz)
