The Grabby Awards last year was very special to me because it’s the first (and might be last) time I attended the show in person after all these years of reporting about the event from the other side of the planet. And it’s amazing to won the BEST PORN BLOG awards 2 years in the role. Check out my coverage of Grabbys 2015 here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, and here.

They just announced the 2016 GRABBY Nominations. Congratulations to all the nominees! Tickets will go on sale Tuesday April 12, 2016 10am (CST) and this year The 2016 GRABBYS will be held on Saturday May 28, 2016 in Chicago.
