In case you missed it, Robbi and I (as Idiots’Books) have been named winners of the Chestertown Spy’s Village Idiot Award for 2011. Apparently (and much to our surprise), this is the fifth consecutive year that we have won the award. Clearly, we need to start paying closer attention.

Many thanks to Dave Wheelan for his incredibly kind words. We’re blushing as we hoist the idiot banner and will wave it proudly as long as the town will have us.

If you don’t feel like reading Dave’s thoughtful, well-crafted article, perhaps you will enjoy the excellent video profile Dave and filmmaker Kurt Kolaja put together in July of 2010.
