Why am I sharing screenshots of concert listings from The New Yorker? Because they are mine. I wrote them. And now, I can say so, because as of the June 18 issue, The New Yorker is publishing bylines with its listings in the Goings On About Town section – to which I have been an anonymous contributor for more than a year now.

But while bylines did in fact appear in the print edition of the magazine, they haven't been implemented online just yet. That, then, is why I've saved and shared these screenshots.

I'm extremely proud to be a contributor to this august publication – and I'm grateful that it provides me with a well respected, well circulated platform from which to advocate for artists like Amirtha (and Lea), James, Marti, and Teodora. (To address the obvious question: no, I do not cover my primary employer.)

[ADDENDUM, June 17: Bylines were added to these items just a few days after I posted this, as was the "(+)" missing in the Spectrum listing. Click on the images above to view the related page on the New Yorker website.]

From the long stretch in which I didn't talk about this part of my working life, here's one I'm especially proud to have gotten into the magazine:
