Yeah, yeah, I'm sure your CV is impressive and all of that.

How are you at posting cat photos?

I guess you didn't get the memo all the way up in Seattle, Burbank - Portland's only big enough for ONE bookish, bespectacled white lady.

YEAH THAT'S FUCKING RIGHT, WE SEND MEMOS HERE.

What's next, are you going to start finding fault with local art/artists on a nearly weekly basis?

WELL YOU CAN'T, THAT WAS ALISON'S THING.

OK, it's out of my system now. Welcome, Megan!

Hello, Blonde Alison. Welcome.

Seems like you've already clued us in to a candidate for your Worst Night (er day) Ever assignment: http://dolls4all.com/portland-or/

Welcome!

I don't know if Steve mentioned it, but to be Arts Editor at the Mercury, you have to be willing to use this photo for a Merc cover:

I hope you're ready to hate Seattle. That's kind of our thing.
8
Play it as it lays, man.

Welcome! And do enjoy the complimentary tickets from PCS for all their shows this season which have suddenly, oddly reappeared since Alison's departure.
10
Piss off someone at PCS your first day, or you'll be stuck sitting through their productions for years.

Oh, wait, it's the Art Director who chooses covers, isn't it.

When are you guys getting a new Art Director?
12
Renata Adler is really a pretty awful person but her book is amazing and I'm glad you had the sense to write about her, so welcome. (Just don't be writing about comedy all the time - Alison was excellent but she seemed to think stand-up comedy was part of the arts.)

I am shocked and amazed that we've got another Mercury writer who likes Game of Thrones.
14
Hello! Welcome to the Mercury! I hope you like it here!
15
I'll be your friend and go to plays with you! Really!
16
Where have you been, Joneser. I've missed your posts here.
17
HEY! KEEP IT DOWN IN HERE! YOU FUCKING- oh.
There's an "arts editor?"
18
Where was I? Oh, yeah, anyway...welcome!!!
19
Hello and welcome!

I once saw an art. It was very nice.
20
Get bent.

..I mean that in the Avatar: Last Airbender sense. It's great, you should watch it.

Welcome to Portland, weirdo.
21
start here, with an original pdx punk native back from war(s). www.flutterface.com
22
Oh, wait. Are you related to Luke?
23
I've decided you are not related to Luke, but you'll acclimate faster if you use him as your Seattle-Portland gateway drug. Congrats on the new gig and best of luck!
24
Oh lovely! I was scared the new Arts Editor would be a 25 year old with four years of paid work under their belt, someone who moved to the state of Oregon three weeks ago. Someone like that would probably have zero connections to the local scene and would write surface bull---- for the next two years until he or she found a better paying job in San Francisco.

That's all still the case, but I am now so relieved to read that she had an internship with our blessed Merc's sister paper!!!!! AUTOMATIC QUALIFICATION.
