Rusty Has Left the Building

I'm leaving for the summer. Welcome to our new Jawa contributors!

Okay, a little explanation. I have a lot of stuff to do this summer, and it looks like it will take up most of my time. This may be my last post until August. I hope, though, to post from time to time from the road. I'll mostly be back in L.A.

It's kind of hard leaving right now. We're in the middle of what might turn out to be our biggest traffic week since we started this little thing. On Wednesday, we got 45k views and 25k unique hits--a Jawa record. And the spike still hasn't tapered off.

I know, you're all thinking, "Hey Rusty, don't let the door hit your ass on the way out." Yeah, yeah. I, for one, will miss this little obsession of mine I call My Pet Jawa.

I'll also miss the regular readers, posters, and other websites that regularly show up here.

A few new people have offered to join the staff. One is presently infiltrating Kosfest (no joke), one is from the Phillipines, and another is from the U.K. I wish I could give them a more formal welcome, but there it is. I think you'll enjoy their posts while I'm gone.

Vinnie has been promoted to Editor in Chief, and Bluto, Traderrob, and Mike from apprentice biyatches to Sith Masters. If you're lucky, you might also get a cameo appearance from Demosophist, Howie, and some other major stars of the blogosphere.

See you in August, and please don't break anything while I'm away.
