Whew

OMG flurry of activity!

Ever since Reveille went live we have been workin' it nonstop. Lots of nice people said lots of nice things about us, and I am so appreciative of the overwhelming support that has been pouring out of all corners of the local scene. I love Minneapolis so much, I can hardly stand it.

Saturday was our kickoff party at the Nomad, which was probably the first time that the entire in-town staff has been in the same room at the same time. I continue to be star-struck by every psuedo-celebrity that I meet around town, as witnessed by meeting Ant, watching silently as he bought me a drink at the bar and then giggling uncontrollably for 15 minutes.

Speaking of local hip hop stars, I got a job working part-time at the Fetus (just wait, this will all make sense soon) a week or so ago. As I was training in, my new boss gave me a very serious look and explained to me that he only had one spare key left, and that he was going to entrust it to me. The key, he explained, used to belong to a previous employee of his named SLUG. Oh yeah, that Slug. Again with the uncontrollable giggling, I assured him that I was not only going to take excellent care of this key, but that I would protect it with my life and limb because I happen to be a huge, drooling Atmosphere fan. (Remember when I met Slug in person? Ugh. Embarrassing.)

My new boss laughed and said, "he's just a normal guy, you know." Sigh. I know. I will never be cool.

Speaking of which, I am off to work again. Busy Andrea = Happy Andrea!

It's here! It's here!

I've been working on a new project for the last two months or so, and it finally went live today!

ReveilleMag.com

Hooray!

And yes, this does mean that I will start blogging regularly again. Things are smooth sailing over at Reveille and I will have lots more time to focus on why I wanted to start a magazine in the first place -- my music writing.

Also, come to this show:

More soon, I promise!
