"The greatest thing about not being president anymore is I can say whatever I think," Clinton told AAN members at a luncheon this afternoon. And he said quite a lot, talking well beyond his scheduled time. Clinton commended alt-weeklies for "filling a void" created by two-dimensional portrayals in mainstream publications. He also took questions from the unusually well-behaved audience.
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."
