new_times_logoNew Times is starting a new culture blog. It will be called Jackalope Ranch and will focus on all of the arts except music, our source says.

Music will remain the purview of the current Up on the Sun blog, with your host Young Martin Cizmar, Portending Rhetorical Journalist™.

The new blog goes live tomorrow. I assume it will be at this url, though it’s not live yet. The New Times blog home page is here.


Want to help the Fair Trade Cafe at Civic Space Park decide its hours? The owners are asking for suggestion on this Facebook page.
