Despite the fierce competition, everyone seemed to be having a blast. InTheCapital threw a party at the Howard Theater last Thursday night for its second annual 50 on Fire awards.
Sound the hyperbole siren:

An electric crowd of visionary and trailblazing companies and individuals descended on the The Howard Theatre for the second annual 50 on Fire awards and the celebration was hotter than ever.
