Coverage.

Been awhile. Lots going on. Here’re some recent happenings.

1.

I was interviewed by Jason Pettus for his Chicago Center for Literature and Photography podcast earlier this month. We cover everything from college to my years in PR to Gapers Block, Out of 5, SXSW and more.

Cinnamon and I helped Naz and Jen move out to San Francisco earlier this month, too. Cinnamon and Jen drove across the country with Shaun the Dog™ in our car, which Naz and I flew with his two cats, Monty and Loki. We all met at their new apartment on Saturday, and Cin and I helped them traipse around town picking up the essentials while we waited for their stuff to show up on the ABF shared semi trailer on Tuesday. We helped them unload the truck, had lunch and took off, to finally arrive on Friday back in Chicago. Much more about the whole excursion shortly, once I’ve got the multitude of photos uploaded and sorted.

On Saturday, Cinnamon and I both appeared on a panel at the Pilcrow Lit Fest: “Niches, Tech Writing and Event Coverage.” Cinnamon was a panelist, along with David Barringer, Theresa Carter, Lynn Haller, Tim Jahn, Sarah Stanley and Kate Zimmer; I was the moderator. We didn’t have a huge audience — we were up against the sex in writing panel — but it was a good conversation I was glad to be a part of.

Lastly, my profile of Adrian Holovaty and EveryBlock is now out in the June issue of Chicago Magazine, in the Arena section up front. Unfortunately, it’s not online yet — I plan to post more of the interview here on me3dia once it is, to help fill out the story a bit further.
