Before we turn this over to Prescott and the weekend team, we'd like to bid farewell to Joe Erbentraut, who leaves us today to move over to the Windy City Times. Joe, along with Tony Peregrin, has been instrumental in writing about GLBT issues for Chicagoist this past year, adding a necessary facet to what we post here. Good luck, Joe, and we owe you a few rounds next time the staff gets together. if you wish to keep up with Joe, he does update his personal website frequently, and has an entertaining twitter feed.
