Every year the Eugene Weekly's readers' wait for the results of our annual "Best Of Eugene" readers poll. Who mixes up the best Bloody
Mary? Who is Eugene's best local radio personality? Who will readers name as Eugene's best rock band?
This year, to celebrate the release of the "Best of Eugene" results, we're throwing one heck of a party. Saturday, Oct. 15, we're taking
over the McDonald Theatre, bringing in some of the areas hottest musicians and bands and announcing the much-awaited results of the
2005 "Best of Eugene" readers' poll which will be published in the Oct. 20th issue.
But we're doing something more than just throwing a big party. This event is also a benefit to support FOOD For Lane County, the
organization our readers picked as the "Best non-profit" in 2004.
