Kelly Davenport
My life in T-shirts: Ask Me About My Cat - Legalize Frostitution - Death Before Decaf. You get the idea. I enjoy lint-rolling, bons mots, magazine launch parties (if I was invited), paying too much for groceries, and the occasional semicolon. I'm a copy editor at The News Tribune, but I won't correct your grammar at the bar. Contact me at kelly.davenport@thenewstribune.com.

Laura Gentry
...lives in Seattle (so you don’t have to) with her cat Peanut Zeta-Jones. The self-proclaimed “Webmeister” of TheNewsTribune.com, Laura spends her spare time driving on I-5, sifting through estate sales, writing songs about Miss Zeta-Jones and wishing she was somewhere else regardless of where she is. You can reach her at laura.gentry@thenewstribune.com, but it’s in your best interest not to.

Niki Sullivan
...is a political reporter for The News Tribune. She likes sunshine, soup and puppies. Beyond that, it gets dicey. Contact Niki at niki.sullivan@thenewstribune.com.

- - - - - - - - Bill Hutchens
... is the Tribune's retired video games columnist. Bill just needed a place to vent, and the GritCity whippersnappers were kind enough to take him in. He's old, chubby and usually scruffy. When he's not asleep under his desk, he's probably hiding in a conference room reading comic books or renaming his World of Warcraft toons. You can reach him at bill.hutchens@thenewstribune.com.

Brian "The Intern" Everstine
...has a debilitating fear of children, horses, sauerkraut and mustaches, but an irrational affection for generic cereal. A recent college graduate (WSU) from Spokane, he is a reporting intern at The News Tribune, meaning he has both no money and no confidence. Contact Brian at brian.everstine@thenewstribune.com.
