The Whitney Awards 2011

I'm back from a week of school visits, conference, and the Whitney Awards. All in all, it was great, except that--long story involving a car that rearended me--I had to pack with a concussion. This is not an ideal packing method since your brain is spitting out random neurons like a pinwheel in a windstorm instead of telling your hands what to pack. I forgot several things I needed, including my camera. But awesome photographer, Erin Summerril just posted this loser photo.

After every Whitney Award ceremony, while the winners are off basking in their glory, the losers gather up the extra desserts and pose for their own photo. We are sad. Except for Susan Corpany and Jeff Savage who have clearly just keyed the winners' cars.

But you can see that Sarah Eden, Traci Hunter Abramson, James Dashner and I are all feeling the general amount of excitement you get when you lose a Whitney. I especially love the sneer on James's face. If you click on the picture, you can see it better.

I will post more pictures of the event, just as soon as I can steal them from Erin. (Love yout, girlfriend!)
