Ryan Porth and Amanda DiPaolo give their takes on the evening too. If you were not in attendance, "save up" for next year as Killer Bees says because it is an event not to miss.

Later today at Noon CDT, you will be able to experience the debut of Smashville on the Glass on Blog Talk Radio with Ryan Porth and I as the hosts and special guests Amanda DiPaolo and Jeremy Gover.
