Nominee Reactions: Danny Burstein '6am in LA but Damn Good!'by BWW - May 1, 2012"I feel pretty damn good! I'm exhausted because it's six in the morning here in LA, but it still feels pretty damn good! My phone started buzzing and I ran to my computer because I wasn't sure.

I'm in tech right now so I'll spend the rest of the day in tech until midnight, but for this I'll do it!"
