Two important – to me, at least – announcements:

* I have been promoted to Editor and Director of Content at Playboy.com. It’s a tremendous opportunity and I’m really proud to be a part of an organization with both a storied legacy and a future that has the potential for tremendous growth.

* I’m doing a reading this Monday at the Hungry Brain, a bar in my neighborhood. I’ll be reading an original piece about how I’m getting old and loving it what it’s like to work at Playboy. I promise it will be funny. Details are as follows:

You, Me, Them, Everybody
Date: Monday, August 17, 2009
Time: 8:00pm – 11:55pm
Location: Hungry Brain (2319 W Belmont); Chicago
Price: Free

Readings from:
Aaron Cynic
Lindsay Hunter
Andrew Mall
Scott Smith

Hosted by Brandon Wetherbee

Hope to see you there.

UPDATE:For whatever reason, the “getting old” piece didn’t pan out, so I’m going with a collection of some amusing anecdotes from work.
