Reader Appreciation Party
Many thanks to all the readers who joined us and their merry compatriots for our first-ever reader appreciation party at the Black Thorn at Lemmons last month! Pizza was consumed, prizes were won, 50/50 tickets were (perhaps illegally?) sold, and a great time was had by all. We want to share a few of our favorite answers to the official TheCommonspace.org trivia quiz (props to Maddie Earnest, trivia winner, who scored a pair of tickets to the Saint Louis Symphony and dinner at Tangerine!): | |
Q: | What's the tagline for TheCommonspace.org? |
A: | "Because Information Wants to Be Free" |
"Broadband is Cheap" | |
"Certainty in an Uncertain World" |
|
Q: | What was your favorite story ever on TheCommonspace.org? |
A: | "Any story written by Thomas, Amanda or Brian; the editor's pieces are always superb." (Flattery will get you everywhere.) |
"We All Scream for Kickball, a gripping, elegantly written account of the burgeoning kickball culture, by future Pulitzer Prize winner Brian McCown" (submitted, curiously, by Brian McCown) |
and finally, proof that you're all not reading closely enough (or, that you're reading waay too much Reader's Digest): | |
Q: | List the 13 sections of TheCommonspace.org. |
A: | "Brian's Bytes" "Amanda's Anecdotes" "Tom's Tales" "Metropothanks" "Hit Parade" "Humor in Uniform" "We Built this City" "All in a Day's Work" "The Something Something Eye" "Word Power" "Penthouse Forum" and the ever-popular "Crossword Puzzle" |
