The Kick Ass Awards will return for a seventh edition, on Sunday, November 7, with a 7 p.m. shotgun start. As true for the past couple years, the event will take place at Joe’s Cafe, a funky little outpost on the City/U. City border, so secluded and secretive and remote that we can’t tell you [...]
