Eric leaves us with one more powerful column. Read it and work him if you can!

The best work partner and colleague you can have. And he's a great writer and reporter, too.

@webbeditor @statesman @austin360 I would work with Eric forever if I could

ICYMI: @urbanheatband crushed their set at The Drop at @WaterlooRecords yesterday. You can catch them at the free @dawaheals showcase at @StubbsAustin on 3/14 during #SXSW

I loved writing this story about how @urbanheatband holds a mirror to darkness to remind us how we all struggle to find the light sometimes. Catch a FREE show March 5 when they join us for The Drop @WaterlooRecords! statesman.com/story/entertai…

What is the BEST television show (new or returning) you watched in 2022? You can only name one. No lists, no ties, no parentheticals. One show to rule them all. Any genre. Just had to air new episodes this year.
