Re: <nettime> Webby Awards

I was a nominating judge for the Community category -- 
http://www.webbyawards.com/nominees/2000/community.html.

At the last Webbies I went to in San Francisco -- the year Jodi.org won
the Net Art category -- Jodi.org staged a fine protest/acceptance speech.
The two stomped up to the podium, grabbed the award, shouted "You
commercial motherfuckers!" or something, and stomped out of the hall. The
audience was stunned. That was the first award of the evening. Set a nice
tenor for the event.
