I’ve kept more or less quite about the roller coaster ride that was April-June in my career. I can’t even find the words, but check out this great video from tonight’s evening news of my new boss summing it all up. Those are my awesome coworkers you see, and that logo and media kit? That’s all me. See more on the BRAVA website, in the know blog, twitter and facebook. OK, enough shameless self-promotion for one day!

Reboot at Pop Deluxe

I would like to congratulate Alicia of Reboot for getting her lovely recycled wallets into one of Madison’s hippest boutiques: Pop Deluxe. If you’re in Wisconsin, this is just one more reason you must make State Street one of your stops (aside from the high concentration of locally owned and operated shops and restaurants, of course). I know it’s not easy to put yourself out there, so way to go, Alicia!
