New Writing Assignments in a Bleak Economy

I have been in a bit of hibernation in terms of my writing work, not to mention the fact that our scary economy has lead to newspapers folding and art sections being slashed down, even doing free work is a rarity for some nowadays. I guess that's what I get for doing my career planning in the nineties when journalism was a realistic career path for the most part.

I had a review of Here Art's The Thirst in last week's issue of The Villager. I also am going to a launch party tomorrow night at the new Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Annex for a new jewelry line/record release from Semi Precious Weapons, I'm writing it up for Venus Zine.

New Pieces

My interviews with Mary Gaitskill and The Vivian Girls are in the newest issue of Venus Zine (with Evan Rachel Woods on the cover). I think my Gaitskill interview came out a little fluffy for my taste, but I still am psyched to see it in print.

I have a review in the new issue of Bust as well (Amber Tamblyn is on the cover).
