Teeny Awards 2013: The Results!
You came, you laughed (thanks, Lindy West!), you danced (thanks, DJ J-Justice!), you ate, like, a million cupcakes (thanks, Cupcake Royale!) you looked like A MILLION BUCKS. And, you gave out a bunch of awards to a bunch of very happy arts organizations. The Teeny Awards 2013: we can all agree that was totally epic, right?
