Some housekeeping this week …
• Mark your calendars: The Tucson Area Music Awards, aka the
TAMMIES, will be going down this year on Thursday, Sept. 3. Details to
come.
• Several weeks back, we announced that Adam Borowitz, our City
Week listings coordinator/Noshing Around scribe, was going to be
leaving us to move to San Diego. Well, we’re happy to announce that his
move will not be happening after all, and that he’ll be staying with
the Weekly.
To the more than 160 of you who applied to take Adam’s place: Thank
you. I wish I had the resources to hire a lot of you; there’s a ton of
talent out there.
• While Adam’s sticking around, Alex, unfortunately, is
not.
Alex McGrath, our editorial designer for the last 2 1/2 years, is
unfortunately leaving the Weekly late next week. (He’s moving
out of state. I believe a woman is involved.) He’s got a ton of talent
and is a nice guy to boot; he’ll be missed.
• Finally, consider this your friendly reminder that our
Fiction 84 entry deadline is rapidly approaching. Here’s a recap: We’re
challenging you to write the best story you possibly can—but it
can only be 84 words long, tops, not counting the title. We’ll be using
the word-count function in Microsoft Word, and if you’re over—by
even one little word—we’ll discard the story. (No cheating with a
ridiculous title, either!) Entries are due Thursday, July 9; thanks to
those of you who have already entered.
