My favorite part of this job is the opportunity to listen to incredible artists talk about their passions and their art. The conversations I had with André De Shields, Brandon Carter, Ty Jones, and Carl Cofield for this piece will stand out for a long time

After 74 years, Chicago Magazine is dead as an independent publication. It's being folded into the Chicago Tribune, which bought it from Primedia for $35 million in 2002. It began life in 1952 as the WFMT program guide, which became a big cash cow once it accepted advertising.

Otherworld is one of those companies I've followed for a long time but have never been able to write about. So glad we were able to get @RealMDavis to write this wonderful piece about them and their TWILIGHT parody musical (a show that genuinely delighted me--review below)
