Pics of WTIA's big bash: Corndogs and Atari, yum yum
Posted by Brier Dudley
The WTIA is about to announce its annual award winners at its 25th anniversary celebration at the Paramount Theatre, but I've got a few picks of my own.
I nominate the mini corndogs and the bags of fresh caramel corn that Tom Douglas catered for the unusual event.
Instead of a sleepy dinner at a downtown hotel, the WTIA is holding what feels like a business casual frat party, with bright lights and video game stations - including Wiis and a set of ancient Ataris - around the room.
"This is dude food," a woman next to me said as she turned away from the buffet's tater tot station.
A few snapshots:
The governor's supposed to be here soon.
(Ooops - posted too soon. Just heard from the state's new commerce secretary, ex Microsoft VP Rogers Weed, that the governor won't make it because she's too busy in Olympia.)
