Tom Champion stepping down

Just discovered this article on the journal blog. It's the end of an era.

Actually, I nominate

That's not a bad idea -- but he's such a nice guy. Why would you want to turn him into a political hack like me?

Certainly, he's got the writing chops -- and there's no doubt he could handle the Connect CTY mass notification system (all that radio experience, dontchya know), but this job has some major downsides and it's a huuuuge time-sink.

Who's going to write new episodes of Red Shift and The Frank Cyrano Byfar Hour if derspatchel is cranking out press releases in the bowels of city hall?

But we could get him a manual typewriter! And a cigar!

What are you guys talking about? Can we have a little "Previously on..." for the folks who are not familiar with any of this?

They're talking about The Big Broadcast of October 30, 1938 (http://www.huboftheuniverseproductions.com/events_bigbroadcast.html), a production last fall at the Somerville Theater, written by

derspatchel and starring Tom Champion in a crucial role.

Thanks! I had no idea.

He's managed it w/his previous day job, so why not with this one? (Besides, he needs a job, and considering his place in the cultural life of Somerville, surely something could be worked out for both his and the city's benefit?...) Anyway, YOU will be greatly missed around these parts, although I'm glad to hear you're not abandoning the PMPR/T@F mafia any time soon. ;-) (BTW, I'm Robin, the PMRP Makeup Maven, in case you didn't recognize the LJ handle.)

It's the man himself! Good luck with your new venture, Tom.
