This week’s Reader is special for the entire staff because it’s our annual Fall Arts issue, where we run down the events in visual arts, theater, dance, and, of course, music that you should know about over the next 80 days. It’s a special issue for me too, because it’s the last one I worked on as a Chicago resident. After a couple weeks of seminomadic homelessness, I’m flying to New York City to start a new existence as a Brooklynite. (Yes, I will be in Williamsburg, at least to start. Yes, I’m aware of that everyone who’s called me a stereotypical hipster over the years will get a good smirk out of that. And yes, I know that Williamsburg is supposedly “over,” but I got a good deal on a place.) The good news is that along with freelancing for a number of other excellent publications TBA, I’ll still be writing regularly for the Reader.
