The Envelope Please...
So, Stephanie and I made it to the EAR Awards in New York City...we ate, we drank, we laughed, and...we didn't win. We were edged out by a national Burger King spot. So, while there's no bright and shiny new BMW sitting in Soundscapes' driveway (the prize for our category) they did give us this great consolation prize, so really, who are we to complain?
The show itself was very slick, and the venue in Lincoln Center's Rose Hall featured a glass walled backdrop overlooking Columbus Circle and Central Park South. Very classy. Stephen Colbert was, of course, hilarious and even offered his own a cappella rendition of Barry Manilow's "I Write the Songs" to introduce the category of "Best Use of Music in a Radio Commercial."
After the show there was
really nothing left to do except eat at really great restaurants and go
to Broadway shows. We considered running in the New York City Marathon
that Sunday, but wisely realized we'd had way too much Ethiopian food the night
before and decided to pass.
It was an honor to be chosen as an EAR Awards finalist. Maybe next year you could go with us? Keep churning out those great scripts!
