About Last Night

Terry Teachout on the arts in New York City

TT: This, that, the other thing

April 25, 2005 by Terry Teachout

In case you didn’t see her announcement last Wednesday, Our Girl in Chicago has a new job and two full hands. In order to maintain her sanity, she’s decided to post mainly on Saturdays and Sundays (though you shouldn’t be too terribly surprised if she should poke her head in on the odd weekday), meaning that “About Last Night” now returns to its former status as a full-service 24/7 blog.


As for me, I’m back from my brief holiday on the Hudson River and reasonably raring to go. Take a look at the right-hand column and you’ll find new stuff here and there (including a fresh pair of Top Fives). I’ve got four Old Media pieces to write this week, so I don’t know how much blogging I’ll be doing between now and Friday, but I’m sure there’ll be more than there ought to be. Watch this space and marvel at my irrepressible logorrhea.
