Hey, it’s Jess. I’m back after one week “at large”–a.k.a. hiding in my apartment watching Criterion DVD’s and eating Cap’n Crunch–to steer this thing while the skipper’s away at SXSW. Dan, Mike, Matos, Jim Backus, and the rest will be continuing to help keep the post count up to Dentonian standards during the day, but let’s face it, you’re really reading this week to see what sort of shenanigans Maura gets up to while in Austin. I’m a little bit rusty after my vacation–tips are welcome, because I think I’ve forgotten how to work an RSS reader–but together we can get through the next five days with a minimum of references to Vampire Weekend and/or Perez Hilton. And hey, if things get boring maybe my boss will get into a slap fight with Rachael Ray. Did we send a video camera down there?
