Lindsay, my beautiful and talented fiance, has accepted a position as senior designer at Metro Pulse, an alternative arts and entertainment weekly covering the Knoxville, Tenn. area.

This publication was aquired by E. W. Scripps last June and remains a separate entity from the local newspaper, the News-Sentinel also owned by Scripps.

I'm very excited for Lindsay, as she will be working in a manner similar to what she did in Roanoke with The Roanoke Times' "Inside Out" tabloid, which was later folding back into the main sheet. Only now it's all arts and entertainment, all the time.

Lindsay is an excellent designer brimming with unique ideas -- I definitely couldn't have done any of the "design" I do without help inspiration. Even this site is rife with ideas she helped bring to the surface.

I'm especially jealous that she will be working in Metro Pulse's downtown office, located on Gay Street above the famous Tennessee Theatre. This makes my drab office-park cubicle look very depressing!

Since Metro Pulse is owned by Scripps, and I work for Scripps as well, you could say we're back working for the same company. For those that don't know our back-story, we met while both working at The Roanoke Times in Virginia.

I was an online intern at the time, and she a copy editor/designer.

I'll have to make up some good excuses to visit the folks at Metro Pulse now. Congrats Lindsay!
