Chicagoans for Rio exposed
ChicagoNow community manager for news and opinion
who can did for why if rio how a million front anony who?
look, this isn't going to work if everyone talks at once. let's see some hands. yes, you in the fedora?
why did you try to stay anonymous, you p#@@y?
hey now, family blog here. let's keep it clean. we launched anonymously to draw more attention to the site. while frustrating for some people, it was inarguably a successful strategy. we were under no delusion that we would stay anonymous. I've been wearing a Chicagoans For Rio t-shirt and sweatshirt for the last couple months, so we weren't exactly hiding. and considering how often some of us drink, we were bound to catch a case of verbal diarrhea. seriously, we'd make awful spies.
who's we?
a couple friends and i. hey, look outside! there's a cardinal!
how has dealing with those of us in the media been?
frustrating for you that we remained anonymous, which I understand. if I ever commit murder, I'm guessing Greg Hinz of Crain's Chicago Business will find the body first. (he was the first one to discover our authorship.) and if i ever need advice, i'm asking James Janega of the Chicago Tribune, because his is the best. ("Have a drink, then have another, think about it some more, and if you reconsider, email me and tell me everything you know.") yes, you in the snuggie?
It's unclear if these are the actual folks, but a bit of Internet sleuthing makes a pretty compelling case. Also, a commenter "Peter Guney" provided the same details in the comments section of Janega's piece early this morning:
If you haven't checked out the site yet, it's quite interesting and features a highly sophisticated amount of interaction, and comedy.The website ChicagoansForRio.com is owned by a Kevin Lynch of Chicago according to the original public WhoIs records in DomainTools and public telephone records in AnyWho.
