I think I referred a while ago, somewhat melodramatically, to figuring out what to do with my life. I promised you an update on that, and now I'm following through! I'm leaving my current job at Government Executive and moving over to Washingtonian, where I'll be doing a lot more culture writing, in addition to many other things. Fortunately, my new bosses are rockstars, and so this blog will continue, although I'll have to figure out the pace as I adjust to the new gig (I promise there will continue to be content every day, I just need to see how much I can handle). I hope y'all will keep coming around as I do that.
Yesterday was my last at my old gig, and I'm headed out for a week's vacation before I start at Washingtonian. But I've got a fantastic crew of guest-bloggers lined up to take care of you guys while I'm gone. Here they are:
-BabylonSista is a freelance writer and editor, and a serious music snob. She lives in the midwest, and often wonders why.
-A native of Houston and a citizen of the South, Blackink blogs regularly over at PostBourgie and argues semi-regularly with strangers on Twitter. He enjoys writing about football, hip hop, politics and general tomfoolery. But he pays rent through his day job as a poorly-paid reporter in Tampa.
-Dara works in immigration advocacy for fun and profit, edits at Wunderkammer as a labor of love, and blogs on occasion as an excuse to hang out with the cool kids. After a couple of weeks wonking out at Spencer Ackerman's place, she's looking forward to going a week without typing the word "Arizona." She's a sucker for pop hooks, wordplay, rituals, high femme and the New York Yankees (Ed: Even the best ones have their flaws. You gotta make compromises in this business).
-Katherine is a New Hampshire-based writer and taxonomist. No, that doesn't involve dead animals. She blogs about books, TV, food, knitting, and whatever else catches her interest at Kat with a K.
-Jamelle Bouie is a recent graduate of the University of Virginia, political blogger, and huge freaking nerd. He still lives in Charlottesville, and spends far too much of his time reading about gadgets, computers and video games (among other things). He has his own blog and frequently contributes to PostBourgie.com.
