My First Real Story in the Weekly

December 26th, 2007 by Damon

Greetings, Readers–the few I have left after my recent shift to a basketball-heavy format. As many of you know, the reason I write about the Sonics so much is that I cover them for the Seattle Weekly, where I am also trying to score a fellowship. But a couple pieces of good news:

1) Good news for me–I got an article published there (the first that wasn’t just a converted blog post). It’s on the hard-hitting news subject of scalpers at Sonics games and probably won’t win me a Pulitzer, but it was fun to write and hey, it’s a start:

Welcome to the Hard-Knock Life of a Sonics Ticket Scalper

Feel free to read it, re-read it, comment on it, use the “e-mail article” feature, etc., so the kind folks at the Village Voice media realize what a talented and popular scribe I am.

2) Good news for you and me–I can now post in the Weekly’s other blogs (and maybe could have all along, something I didn’t realize), meaning the writing I do over there (and thus the writing that appears here) will cover a greater variety of subject matter. This, I hope, will make things a little easier on those of you who aren’t so into the basketball posts.
