Interpol, how were they last night?

Hoya, you're Denton?  Did everyone else know that?  I'm not paying attention (and I don't get the Express, so probably never saw that...).
 
 The royal we is an annoying convention -- too bad they make you do it.
 
 So, DCist is angling for formalism.  Interesting...
 
 And one more question.  How does the DCeiver fit in to all of this?

no, Peter Denton is just my nom de guerre

DCist is clearly angling for formalism. Everything about it looks like a "newspaper on the web." Wonder if the City Paper considers it a threat.

I don't find the CityPaper online useful at all.  And as I spend more time on the web now, DCist could definitely replace the paper version of CityPaper for me...

sure, the interface sucks ... but i love reading their long-form features on the web ... and how could dcist ever replace those?

Easy. By posting long-form features of its own. Though I'm not sure how DCist intends to make money without a print version. There doesn't seem to be many advertising dollars going to web newspapers. Many they got deep pockets and can wait for the dollars to start coming in the future.

do you know how much you get paid for a 5,000 or 10,000 word feature?
 
 lets put it this way, it's more than the zilch that DCist pays ...
