The seemingly endless gay adult video awards season "climaxed"  last night when the 2008 Grabby Awards were handed out. It was just one part of Chicago's annual Memorial Day Weekend extravaganza which included the IML (International Mr Leather) and Bear Pride. There were some predictable outcomes (Grunts came through again for Raging Stallion) and a few surprises (among them a few ties!) 

 Here's the rundown on the awards. We'll have details on the show plus the special awards on a future blog.
