  • I’m Moving to Empire Avenue!

    This likely won’t come as a shock to many of you; I’ve been invited to go work on Empire Aven­ue. Of course, I said yes. Start­ing Thursday, Septem­ber 1st, my role will be, as with any star­tup, kinda fuzzy to begin with. Offi­cially I’ll be the Dir­ect­or of Social and Com­munity Man­age­ment. In real­ity, I’ll be…
