Update: Now everyone has until midnight Wednesday to take advantage of this deal.

As part of getting ready for the upcoming Houston Web Awards sponsored by the Houston Press, readers have a chance to cash in on our Deal of the Day to buy tickets at half off the $30 door price.

Scheduled for June 28 at the House of Dereon, 2204 Crawford Street, the second annual Houston Web Awards will honor the best tweeters, texters, bloggers and others who excel in the social media world.

The special $15 ticket deal will be good now through midnight Tuesday Wednesday. The ticket is good for entrance, light refreshments and both alcoholic and nonalcoholic drinks.

You can also send us your nominations about who our awards should honor by going to our polling site. That way, when you go to the awards, you may well have been part of deciding who gets to stand up in front of the room.
