Nearly a decade ago, I ran into former Reader editor Kiki Yablon at a cookout thrown by former Reader contributor Liz Armstrong that I’d gone to in part because I couldn’t afford to feed myself that day. Kiki took pity on me and told me to come down to the office to take the proofreader test. I must have failed spectacularly, since I’d never really proofread anything before and no one ever told me my score. But I caught a mis-styling of “Bee Gees” in the decades-old copy, so they hired me to take over the music listings.
It’s also been a fucking blast. So instead of getting caught up in being sentimental let’s just do what I usually do when something new and exciting happens to me, which is to listen to Young Jeezy’s “Go Crazy” as loud as I can and dance around the room.
