As we’ve talked about before, Creative Loafing up and shitcanned several of their staff not too terribly long ago. And if we’ve learned anything in this world, it is that VH1’s template of fondly remembering shit people didn’t so much care for the first time is pure gold. And while this kind of glorified reminiscing used to be reserved for things from many years ago, their recent model of “I Love the Yesterday” has taught us that it is never too early to check in on our favorite heroes and villains.

Alex Pickett will report for food and has started his own blog (good luck with that, bro, we know blogs and they suck assholes). He’s only a few days in, but we expect good things, especially when yesterday’s story was a hard hitting exposé on confederate license plates. God bless Florida. Also, a suggestion for all you readers out there who have managed not to lose your jobs in this rad economy: buy Alex a sandwich and demand a story out of it. I mean, come on, he’s advertising “will report for food,” so hit the deli and take advantage of this once in a lifetime chance to have a story of your choosing written by a pro journalist. Have fun, Alex!

Wade Tatangelo is keeping busy, which I must admit surprises me. But hey, good for him, and I mean that - this is a shitty time to be out of work and he seems to be finding work writing. Wade’s blog appears to mostly collect links to stories he’s written for a variety of publications out there. We missed it when it ran, but he’s even doing some big work for pubs like Maxim.

Anyone know what Anthony Salveggi is up to?
