Morning Fizz: Gone Fishin'

Caffeinated news and gossip featuring PubliCola.

By Erica C. Barnett and Josh Feit

June 12, 2012.

This is our last post at Crosscut. The team here is great — and founder David Brewster has been particularly gracious and supportive, bringing Erica and me on board so we could continue to write. As Brewster wrote when he brought us on in mid-May to preserve our reporting:

I'm glad we could row our little lifeboat out to them. ... May what they started long live on!

We're grateful for Brewster's amazing support at Crosscut, but PubliCola is our thing. And it will live on. More details to come, but the Cola will be back in full force later this month. 

For now, we're taking a much needed break.

As Erica puts it, cell phones are off and we've "Gone fishin'."

See you soon.
