2008 PLUG Awards in NYC
The 2008 PLUG Awards in NYC by Stalman
We were nominated for the Best Website at the 2008 PLUG Awards earlier this month. Anthony attended the awards ceremony, sadly not wearing a cat-suit, and said it was good times. We lost to a very worthy competitor that some of you may have heard of and that I still love dearly: Pitchfork Media (anyone else excited about Pitchfork.TV!?)
It was also reassuring that their music awards, like best album, artist, live show etc were very reminescent of our recent Music Blog Zeitgeist.
SXSW 2008 in Austin, Texas
SXSW was incredible. Spending so much time around people that actually create and design things we use and love (and things we didn’t know existed!) was very inspiring.
It doesn’t do it justice, but here are is a short sampling of some of our experiences:
Scott Perry (New Music Tipsheet), Anthony, Rachel (from KCRW), and Taylor at the FADER Fort
Tantek, Hannah and Matt (from Last.FM), Anthony
Scott and Alexis Ohanian (from Reddit) at Gawker Media’s Party
The PureVolume Ranch (aka our home from 12am-4am every night for 10 days)
Graveyard, a rock band from Sweden was my favorite performance of the week. Listen on HypeM
The most web-cred crowd ever at the Emmy The Great Show. Seen in the crowd: Anthony, Taylor, Scott, Robert (from Donewaiting), Frank (from Chromewaves), Matt, Hannah, Jonas and Jeff (Last.FM), and Chirag (from Sched.org/Chime.TV)
Teaser: Look for actual awesome new features later this week 🙂

I am really impressed with your writing skills and also with
the layout on your blog. Is this a paid theme or did
you modify it yourself? Anyway keep up the excellent quality writing,
it is rare to see a nice blog like this one today.
One more issue is really that video gaming has become
one of the all-time most important forms of excitement for people of every age group.
Kids participate in video games, and adults do,
too. The XBox 360 is just about the favorite video games systems for folks who love to have a lot of
video games available to them, and also who like to learn live with other people all over the world.
Thanks for sharing your notions.
