We are only two weeks away until we ~~pissed off people~~ announce the 2010 Best of Miami winners. The choices have already been made and are in the book, but who won is currently only the knowledge of the editorial board -- and no matter what people say, our sales department find out the winners the same day everyone else does. But there is one last chance for you to make a difference, because our Readers' Poll is still open and will be until Thursday, June 3.

After that, it's only a painstaking two more weeks until everyone knows the winners when the issue hits newsstands June 17 (if you visit our site often, you already know our print edition goes online two days earlier on June 15).

After that, all is left to do is celebrate that we are finally done with such a monstrous task and we hope you will join us as well. Friday, June 18 Mokai will host our official Best of Miami 2010, AKA "New & Improved," release party. Los Angeles DJ Graham Funke will be spinning along with resident DJs Konflikt and Rascal. Doors open at 11:30 p.m; 21 and over.

Remember, there are a lot of imitators, but there is only one Best of Miami. Don't be fooled.
