* TGA 2002 awards
ceremony took place on sept. 22nd @ the reverb
Congratulations to all of the 2002 Toronto Goth Awards nominees and winners.
update november 17th 2002- pictures from the awards are
now online here.
there are also pictures on each of the individual category pages, but those
have been online for a while.
The awards process was meant to be a fun way of fostering a sense of community
spirit, and to raise awareness for different aspects of the entire community.
The 13,000 votes that were submitted in the 13 categories, as well as turnout
and feedback on Sunday told us that many of you indeed agree that we were
successful in these goals.
Thank you to Greg Beals of Zarr Designs for creating the unique trophies that
each of the award winners received. We highly recommend him to do custom work -

Thank you to the tech crew - Nikki, John and Steven for their amazing work.
Thank you to Dom (Reverb) for his support of this event.
Thanks you to the bands - Perdition, the Birthday Massacre, C(x) & the

support of the community and events like this, they cannot survive, thrive and
evolve.

process next year, and we invite feedback and comments on how you would suggest
things be improved upon. If you have a comment you can fill out a feedback form

RSA
DJ Todd started Real Synthetic Audio in January of 1998 as a way to promote his
own particular taste in music. He feels it's his duty to give something back to
the scene, as it has treated him with at least a little good will and respect,
which is why he strives to showcase as much new music as he can.
