On street boxes in the downtown core starting today, AAN convention-goers will be treated to a mashup, for lack of a better word, of the Revenge of the Nerds movie poster, now starring AAN’s own Richard Karpel (top right) and Willamette Week’s publisher Richard Meeker (top left) and editor Mark Zusman (bottom middle).

The original, for reference:

Our hosts have also run an oh-so-informative charticle for their readers, comparing the AAN confab to other recent conventions to hit Portland: Irish dance teachers; green industry folks and fertilizations experts; and a society concerned with the “development of high-quality, market-relevant standards.” Whatever that means.
