As most of you know the Barney awards were recently held at VirtualTourist headquarters in Manhattan Beach amidst much silliness and debauchery. The ceremony was broadcast via Skype across 13 countries as local (and not-so-local members) joined us at headquarters for the live event. For those of you who couldn't be there we're working on a video of the ceremony that we hope to have posted soon! We congratulate all the nominees and awardees and look forward to a great 2011!
