It has been said that “gloating is a sign of insecurity.” That being said, “WE’RE #1 IN INSECURITY!! WHOOO!!” Anyway, guess what? At the recent AAN (Association of Alternative Newsweeklies) convention, the Mercury brought home three big prizes at the 2010 AltWeekly Awards. To wit:
SECOND PLACE: BEST BLOG (under 50,000 circulation): Portland Mercury‘s Blogtown!
SECOND PLACE: BEST MUSIC BLOG (under 50,000 circ): Portland Mercury‘s End Hits!
and
FIRST PLACE: BEST COVER DESIGN (under 50,000 circ): Portland Mercury‘s Justin “Scrappers” Morrison!
Yay us! Or as Mel Gibson might say, “Now you have to blow me before I get in the Jacuzzi!”
Seriously, congrats to all the people who make Blogtown and End Hits a great place to hang out online (that includes YOU, bubby), as well as the best art director in the universe, Scrappers! Keep up the good work, guys!
Hey Nashville,
You’ve benefited from a lapse in judgment. It’s not your fault. I’m sure you’re a sweet spirit. But I just skimmed your blog and, no offense, it’s water-logged with posts on the economy, election news, politics and……..zzzzzzzzzz.
Where’s your Bieber beaver? Where’s your regular Juggalo update? WNE? A Red And Black Cafe-esque contest thread (a bona fide award-winning thread, mind you)? Do YOU have a staffer on Boner Patrol?
DO YOU?
Who got First Place for best blogs? I’ll go troll the shit out of them.
Good idea! We should trade commenters with them for a week. YOU GUYS WOULD KICK THEIR ASS SOOOO HARD!
Congrats, Merc!
@Wm.(TM) Steven Humphrey: You just want to get us out of your hair. But we’ll make you a deal: We’ll troll both blogs for a week…
The Enchanted Forest story was one of my favorites of all time.
