Ettamarie How do we vote for the best of 2010?
I have to say that I'm a bit disappointed by the photos of the Best of the Bay '09. Apparently not a single person of color attended the event, according to the photos in the magazine. San Francisco is a city of all cultures and it appears that this event was culture-less, which is very unfortunate. Next time, you should do a better job of displaying the diversity that San Francisco and this event has to offer.
