Looking for a fun, free summer activity? Try reading Chicago magazine articles aloud in your best Chicago accent. This will definitely not drive your partner insane.

Can someone explain to me the (seemingly sudden) obsession with swivel arm chairs?

It's disappointing to see that WBEZ's departing CEO is making decisions about programming and staffing based on what's "generating revenue." I thought that was what the pledge drives (and my monthly recurring donation) were for.

If you are coming in because you would like to Be In Charge or because your Business Brain can Save an Arts Organization by making it more corporate, you can fuck off into the sun. That's not what Board service is about.

If you are coming onto a body to serve an organization dedicated to the public good, it is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to learn how nonprofit organizations are structured, how they are driven by mission and values, and how you can best serve those goals.

The ways in which the Boards of nonprofit arts organizations can truly uplift or destroy the organizations they have - at least in theory - agreed to serve. There MUST be a better way. And we are long overdue for finding it.

Bill Clinton banned assault weapons in 1994; mass shootings dropped by 43%. George W. Bush and the GOP let the assault weapons ban expire in 2004; mass shootings increased by 245%. These numbers tell the whole story.

We simply do not talk enough about the quietly devastating early aughts classic "Passenger Seat" by Death Cab for Cutie. This song is a time capsule and a weighted blanket and a shot of whiskey all at once.
