Little Rock and Back Again
The Independent News was not admitted as an AAN member this year, but its representatives decided to stick around Little Rock anyway, "to meet as many people as we could, learn as much as possible and have as much fun as we could stand." Judging by this week's cover story, mission accomplished. Editor Duwayne Escobedo includes trivia (the Rolling Stones stayed in the same hotel in March, and didn't tip well) and advice gleaned from seminars (alt-weeklies can go too far!?). "There's no question about it," Escobedo says. "Our next road trip is to Portland, Ore., in 2007 for the next AAN annual convention."
