And…We Lost

This text from Tim from the American Society of Something About Magazines Conference, regarding the cover competition (you can see the finalists here):

The New Yorker won. [Editor] David Remnick is my arch enemy. He will pay.

Kudos again again to photographer Elizabeth Lavin and creative director Todd Johnson for national-award-level work. Read Tim’s take on the conference and the purely evil human being known as David Remnick in the December issue of D.

Update: TexMo won for best coverline. Evan Smith reportedly walked over to Tim and Adam’s table, dropped trou, and said, “Ranch up, boys.”

Double Update: Tim reports no one from TexMo is there. Poor form, fellas.

Triple Update: Photographer Elizabeth Lavin came into my office, fell to the floor, and yelled, “I’m a LOSER!” Then Jessica Jones came into my office, crawled on the floor, and hugged her to make her feel loved. My iPhone sprang into action, but, honestly, I think the resulting photo looks a little too, um, interesting to post. Wick, can you come down here so I can get a ruling on this?
