alt-woo-hoo! again!

I'm pleased to announce that last Friday, I won the First Place 2009 Altweekly Award for arts criticism.

That's two years in a row! Good grief.

My competition this year hailed from the LA Weekly and the Village Voice...which, frankly, led me to believe I'd be taking the honorable mention home. Somebody at the AAN must like me.

You can read the pieces for which I won--the only three pieces, I'm sad to say, that I wrote last year for the WCP--here, here, and here. Read about the rest of the WCP's awards here.
