The times, they are a changing! And so is the Bastion. You may have noticed a little wonky template action going on here in the last few days as our Big Poppa has been tinkering with a redesign of the site. We promise it will be very pretty by the time it's done.

One of our co-editors has stepped down to senior writer again, although this won't reflect much change in the site itself, as much as it will reduce the level of unnecessary stress she has felt about not being everywhere all the time, talking to every single person in Chicago comedy. (She's very conscientious that way.)

What else? Well, we lost one of our contributors to law school and the big glittering diamond that is New York City, so we're looking for more improv and sketch contributors, if you're interested in seeing and writing about some shows for us. And before you ask, yes, the pay is sky high for this sort of gig. You will be able to quit your current job, give no notice whatsoever, and give your boss the finger on your way out the door.*

If that sounds like something you'd like to do, send us a hello at our new e-mail address. (That's another change - a new and better e-mail address!).

*As is frequently the case, we are using comedy to write about comedy. That was tongue-in-cheek there. Didja see that? Awesome.
