DJDreamteam 2009 - It's On!
What is it that makes a great DJ? There are many criteria, but it all comes down to this: who moves you the most? Every week Nitevibe lets you know where the action is and where the best DJs are playing. Now we want to here from YOU! Let us know who your favorite DJs are and immortalize them in San Francisco's 7th Annual Top10 DJDreamteam poll. If there's one thing we can learn from Obama's victory and Prop 8's unfortunate victory, it's the importance of voting. Tell all your friends and think hard before you cast your vote. We want to know who's you're favorite in the SF Bay Area, so we can throw a party with an all-star lineup by the people and for the people. Poll Ends: Sat, March 14th, Final Results Announced: Tue, March 17th. Vote Here! (EB)
