For the second year in a row, AAN will host a cocktail reception for film-industry clients in Los Angeles this fall. On the heels of the success of last year's "AANtourage," "TrAANsformers" will feature hors d'ouvres, an open bar and entertainment. In addition, party-goers will again have the opportunity to win high-end door prizes donated by AAN members. Each AAN member may send a maximum of two representatives, and pre-registration is required. For more information or to reserve a spot, contact Roxanne Cooper at rcooper (at) aan.org or 202-289-8484.
As it launches Metromix LA this week (with former LA Weekly books and restaurants editor Deborah Vankin at the helm), the Tribune Company says it will produce versions of the local entertainment website at all of its papers, Editor & Publisher reports. Metromix was already up and running in Chicago, Orlando and Baltimore; the company says a New York City site will go live this week. Metromix is aimed at young, "socially active" adults and features a searchable database of entertainment listings with user and staff comments.
The McClatchy-owned and Idaho Statesman-operated free weekly known as Thrive (nee Thr!ve) has printed its last issue, New West Boise reports. Thrive editor David Parker and some staffers will remain at the Statesman, he says in a farewell note. Thrive, which competed with AAN member Boise Weekly, began in October 2002 as one of a few tests in different markets by Gannett (the paper's original owner), which wanted to see if such faux-alts could flourish, according to New West. MORE: Boise Weekly offers its take on Thrive's demise: "No more fun, fun, fun articles about local sports enthusiasts. Gone are the always-positive restaurant advertorials."
Despite vows by Willamette Week that they'd "beat the living shit" out of their cross-town rivals' softball team, the Merc prevailed for the second year in a row on Sunday, by a score of 11-8. "It was another great Sunday in the world of sports," writes the Mercury's Wm. Steven Humphrey. "The WW has really improved since last year, and made a strong showing with numerous hits and good fielding, but ultimately it was the surgical style of the Mercury that won the day." AAN members: we know that many of you have softball squads hitting the diamond this summer. Feel free to report successes, failures and box scores to jwhiten (at) aan.org.
