As we go to press with his second Feedback column, I’d like to officially welcome James Ford to our staff. James is well-known in the Charlottesville arts community, mainly because he has worked for or written about so many organizations within it. As an expert on film and photography, he gives time to the Bridge Progressive Arts Initiative, makes the indie movie house Vinegar Hill run smoothly, and gets his music fix as a WTJU volunteer. But he is probably best known as the operating force behind the locally based, nationally followed tastemaker blog, Nailgun Media. James’ column will keep us up-to-date each week on the trends and tribes that edge our city’s robust arts scene. So keep an eye on Feedback—and send us yours! Read last week’s Feedback column here and this week’s here.—Tami Keaveny, Arts Editor
