When the Mercury took me on as a news intern, they promised me they wouldn’t make me go on coffee runs and restock the copier.
Apparently that’s all gone now.
Spur of the moment, out of the blue, the news staff sent arts intern Ali Reingold and I on a donut run at Voodoo Donuts under the guise of doing a blog on Voodoo’s Backyard Bash. So, to fulfill the requirements of our excursion, here’s what we saw…
Long lines.

The Heligoats.

Beer.

Matt Davis approves.

I look like a sinister rapist (not that I suppose there’s a non-sinister rapist) in that photo! Those suspenders, along with the cream running out of my mouth, back into the doughnut, really bring the image together. And the squinty eyes. Shudder.
Forget the donuts — work on your grammar: “Spur of the moment, out of the blue, the news staff sent arts intern Ali Reingold and I…”
Justwonderin’: good call. My bad.
Oh, God. An intern that actually responds reasonably to feedback.
Sean- Please, please, please, don’t let Matt do to you whatever he did to those poor boys and girls in the past crops.
Matt is just a little peanut!!!
Voodoo Too needs a 2nd cash register! Their lines are ridiculous, and all the people who are waiting get in the way of me playing pinball.
