As of this issue, I will no longer be writing for the New York Press. When I learned of an impending change in managment about a month ago I decided to quit. I have since learned that there would not have been an opportunity for me to stay anyway. I want to thank everyone who has read this column over the years, and I would also like to thank the exiting staff of the NYP. I have enjoyed writing in New York and will very much miss the experience.

Thanks again, good luck to everyone, and take care--
