Reporter's Notebook: Speed Dating
Filed under: City Pages , City Pages
Speed dating was so much fun I have a few more details of the evening that I just have to share.
1. My boyfriend went on a date with Caroline, the hottie I refer to in my story. According to him: "She's a bitch." She made fun of him for still being in school. Even so, I still want to know what happened between her and Ken.
2. Roberto, the blood drawing medical technician who sounded so creepy in the story, has a lighter side. Dance is his passion, especially bopping and moon walking. He also likes to watch Lifetime.

City Pages hires Andrea Myers as Music Editor
Filed under: City Pages
City Pages is proud to announce that it has hired Andrea Myers as music editor.
A veteran beat reporter who has covered the local music scene for years, Myers has been published everywhere from the (now-defunct) Pulse to Howwastheshow.com, and of course, in City Pages. She is perhaps best known as one of the founders of Reveille, an online music magazine.
Myers got her start at a relatively young age when she was taken under the wing of Jim Walsh, a former City Pages columnist and the author of All Over But the Shouting, an oral history of the Replacements.
"I've always admired Jim's writing, and have been reading his articles since I was in high school," Myers says. "He has been kind enough to mentor me through some of the most challenging parts of my writing career and I owe a lot of my success to his influence and support."
