It's a Silver Addy for my Wonder Woman

Woo-Woo, I won a Silver Addy for my Wonder Woman poster!

Yes I wish it were a Gold, but there were many flaws to the whole thing so I think it deserved the Silver. But to be honest I didn't really care if it got an award at all, the whole point of it was to make a buzz. To which I succeeded very well and it gave me a little lift in my step.

The awards were owned by Wray Ward, and every other good agency in town. So when Megan Fox came up on the big monior she got a nice applause
from all that were there. Afterwards a lot of friends, designers and Creative Directors came over and complimented me.

Overall it was a great night seeing old friends and making new ones. Like I said the night was owned by Wray Ward for Best of Show for a well imagined print campaign. But the agency that swept the most awards had to Studio Banks, congrats to both.

The only downer to the whole thing was that it was a smaller awards show with only half the number from years previous. The vendors didn't really show up and most of the designers brought their own mini bottles in with them. It's the sign of the times and the Addy committee should recognize that. The awards and the tickets are too expensive so most Freelancers don't bother going. Kara Hollinger and I were the only Freelancers there. WIt's funny when you think about it because in a couple more years there will be more Freelancers in Charlotte than the sum of all employees of agencies put together.

Anyway, like I said, it was fun hangin' out with old friends and Megan as Wonder Woman got to enjoy one more moment in the spotlight.

Hi John -

Damn straight. I totally agree with what you said - watch out agencies... here comes the freelancers!
