New arts editor at CityBeat

Natalie Nichols passes the editor's keyboard to Rebecca Epstein, announcing on her hipspinster blog that it's time to devote more time to her own writing.

it is somewhat insane, perhaps, to depart a good job in these sparse times, but i did it anyway. the main reason is that i want to do more writing, and it is difficult to do that when your job requires you to focus on everyone else's work first. there was a time when i could do it all, but i'm not as young as i used to be. and, frankly, i want my hard work to benefit me more directly.

Nichols, an original member of the CityBeat team, will continue with the paper as a freelance columnist and contributor.
