Since this is the first time I've done them, I doubt you've actually been waiting, but I had to make the intro sound exciting somehow.
It's the time of year where everyone is posting their favorite gear reviews, awards, and gift suggestions. I feel left out, so I've decided to do my own gear award post. Unlike those big web sites where brands send them free products to review, I have to buy my own gear. That's why the awards are going to normal person gear, and not the newest stuff on the market. I purchased it myself after doing tons of research and thought it was worthy of mention. So without further excuse or explanation - THE 2010 ROCK AND SKY GEAR AWARDS!!
Ps. If anyone wants to send me free gear to review, that'd be awesome too. :-D
