Slog - Comments on Did You See On the Boards's Marquee Today? http://slog.thestranger.com/2006/08/did_you_see_on_the_b Here's what it looks like: What's that about, you ask? Well, as intrepid Slog readers and P-I reporters can tell you, On the Boards has won the Stranger Genius Award in the organization category this year. (You may recall Brendan Kiley's profane praise of On the Boards from a couple months ago.) On the Boards got its cake announcing the good news yesterday during a staff meeting and, according to sources, spent the rest of the meeting trying to figure out how they could thank us. They decided to put a message up on their marquee, take a picture of...

Why would anyone give $5K to a well established successful writer to whom the $5K cannot possibly make a difference? There must be hundreds of would be writers in Seattle trying desperately to break out while juggling 2 or 3 shit jobs. Surely you could have located 10 promising local writers for whom $5K would be a godsend.

Say it isn’t so… tell me you guys didn’t give $5K to Raban!

I had to regrettably miss the last one and I'd love to go to this year's edition.

No, not: Up-and-coming Award

No, not: Shows Potential Award

No, not: Okay, But Needs Improvement Award

And No, certainly NOT: The Promising Award

It's the freakin' GENIUS AWARD. Which Raban, as much as any writer in this city is.

And yeah, $5K CAN make a difference, even to someone like Raban - what, you think he spends his mornings doing laps in a pool filled with $100 bills like Scrooge McDuck? If that's the case, you don't know much about the book business.
