this will be of no interest to pretty much anyone but i thought i would ask anyways:

i was assigned to the arts&culture beat for my reporting class. we're writing exclusively about the far north side - rogers park, andersonville, etc (i think - my geography of the city is still shady). soooo if you have any tips on stories or good contacts in those areas, i beg of you, please email me! i will IMMORTALIZE YOU IN THE PAGES OF MY CLASS'S NEWS WEB SITE. fame and fortune, i tell you, fame and fortune.

But today's Post features a rambling column from Courtland Milloy that mentions the Butterstick campaign approvingly.

Thanks to Melissa of DCist for pointing it out.

thanks to the magic of the internets, i have an extra ticket to tomorrow's sold-out new pornographers show at the metro. $20. anybody game? just email me.
