And the GayCities Next Top Reviewer is…

The results are in and 1outta4 (real name Courter) is GayCities’ Next Top Reviewer. Though he calls New York home, Courter has reviewed bars and shops all across this great gay nation, and clearly knows how to have a good time. It is his willingness to share the details of his escapades–from the “3-toothed Drag Queen doing Beyonce’s ‘Soldia’ Boy’” at Play in Nashville (where Courter is pictured, singing), to admitting of Gay 90s in Minneapolis: ”Yes, it’s old and sticky, but that’s what I loved,”–that gives our readers a real sense of place, and earned him top honors. Congrats, Courter, and enjoy two free nights from our contest sponsor, Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants.

Here’s what our jurors had to say about the top pick:

“He’s got lots of solid and useful info that’s easy to follow. I also appreciated his first person descriptions to really highlight his experiences.” – Tanya Churchmuch

“I was impressed by the thoroughness of 1Outta4’s reviews. They were fun to read and included useful tips, such as which nights are the best to go to a certain club or which B&B rooms to avoid. After reading his reviews, I felt like I had a true sense of each place (and a sense of 1Outta4’s fun and adventurous personality). I trust this guy’s recommendations; He can plan my next vacation anytime.” — Mike Jurs

“His reviews show a lot of personality and enthusiasm. They’re scrupulous, and they present useful specifics and details. His writing is crisp and witty, and he presents a wide range of opinions about a wide range of venues.” — Thomas Mallon
