When not pelting AAN members with New Orleans souvenirs, Michael Tisserand (pictured) announced the order of finish in 20 different categories and two circulation divisions at a luncheon held in Little Rock, Ark. this afternoon as part of AAN's Annual Convention. The Coast was the biggest winner, taking three first-place awards. Creative Loafing (Atlanta) and OC Weekly each won two, with the Orange County paper topping both column categories. First-place winners, a good mix of familiar names and newcomers, will be collected in a book, Best AltWeekly Writing and Design.
Over 400 Convention attendees, friends, families and guests flocked to two official parties Thursday night in Little Rock. Guests first checked out the Clinton Presidential Center before moving on to a rooftop cocktail party hosted by the Arkansas Times. Said Salt Lake City Weekly's Ben Fulton (pictured), "The air smells like chewing tobacco, frying pork and diesel oil, and that's a good thing."
AAN staff will be striving to provide timely updates from the AAN Convention in Little Rock today, but we're not the only ones wired around here. Check out Jimmy Boegle from Tucson Weekly's take on what made Thursday a "bummer" and what made it "brighter," Laura Fries from Creative Loafing, Inc., weighing in on Little Rock's barbeque, Julia Goldberg from Santa Fe Reporter's comparison of the Clinton Library to a trailer, Cathy Resmer from Seven Days' session updates, or Weekly Planet's Wayne Garcia, aka "PoHo," relaying lessons learned from Ted Conover.
