It has come to our greedy ears: speculation about The Gutter reached a fever pitch at the now mercifully adjourned American Institute of Architects borefest in Las Vegas. From the press quarters, to the back bar at Rumjungle, to the dance floor at the black-tie Ritz gala, one question, we're told, was asked and asked again: Who are these assholes? As we've noted, public service is not our bag. But we'll take some pity on you—in the negative, naturally. Per reports from the field, those accused to date: Michael Bierut, Aric Chen, Diana Darling, Alex Gorlin, Cathy Lang Ho, Tracey Hummer, Julie Iovine, Philip Nobel, Kristen Richards, Fred Schwartz, Bob Stern. Our response? Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong and you have got to be fucking kidding. For those still in Clouseau mode, a tip or two can be found on our sister site. Enjoy.
