Best in Baltimore 2004(House Music)...........

BlackBooksCafe.com presents the Best In Baltimore 2004(House Music).  The purpose is so actual House heads/supporters can show their support for their pics for the best in Baltimore.  Sort of the "people's pics".  In an industry saturated with so much to listen to, we hope this will spark an annual acknowledgment or appreciation from the dancers and lovers of House music, to the local House Music "insiders" who bring it to them.  Hopefully this idea, that was sparked by an idea from longtime House/dance legend Thommy Davis, will be taken a bit further towards the end of 2005 with scientific winners by ballets taken at the parties/email.  So while you are out at parties/events, listening to radio, buying cd's, etc., in 2005 pay close attention and remember what you feel.

We Start the ball rolling by announcing our own BlackBooksCafe.com Best In Baltimore 2004(House Music)
