I certainly hope someone there reminded him not to let the door hit his bottom on the way out.

Doesn't a very funny former writer for The Stranger work at Hugo House? Heck, doesn't Hugo House's staff consist entirely of very funny former Stranger writers? You *must* have access to the the inside story.

@7: Cienna's a writer-in-residence and so she's presumably not in on administrative decisions. I think there are a couple of Stranger freelancers at the House, but they're all from before my time. We'll see if I can find out what the story is.

Hey, just for the sake of facts: Lyall Bush became Executive Director when I left Hugo House as Director on May 25, 2006 and not on February 9, 2006.
