It’s that time of year again: Every. Single. Business. in Austin tells you to nominate and vote them for Austin Chronicle’s Best of Austin. And with good reason: It’s the most widely read issue.

We at RoA are no exception. We write our little claws off to bring you stories about this great city-and a little love makes everything easier BUT, we also think there are a lot of other great individuals and businesses that deserve recognition. So instead of just shilling for your vote, we’re also shilling for our favorite folks.

So take a look at our suggestions. Make your own opinion. Head over to the Austin Chronicle’s Best of Austin 2010 page. Vote for Republic of Austin and all the good folks below. Let’s keep this ish legit, y’all!

Oh yeah, and I’m a self-serving lil dillo, so VOTE FOR ROARY DILLO for best blogger
