Thanks to everyone who has written me or left a comment on my move to Mountain Xpress. Y’all are gonna make a boy tear up if you don’t stop. Here are some of your comments:

Loyal reader Soni says:

Glad to hear you’re moving onto something cool enough to match your own chill self. Write on.

Loyal reader sloaneroo says:

Congrats Ash! We’ll miss your voice at the ACT…now everything will just be recycled from WLOS. Ugh. I look forward to your contributions at the MX!

And Deborah Potter, former WLOSer, C-Ter and Charles Taylor-er, has this:

Having worked at the AC-T with Jason — I can tell you he is a top notch news dude. Give ’em heck Ash — and best of luck.

Well spank me & call me Agnes!!! This is the best news I’ve heard this side of 2008! A hearty CONGRATULATIONS to you Ash/Jason. The MtnX & your Smart & Sassy Self seems like an ideal pairing. Jason, you have so many incredible gifts and talents to offer those ‘alternakund’ down at The X. I only wish I could get the paper delivered to me in NYC to soak up all the Ashvegas brilliance that will be oozing from the pub (lication that is). WELL DONE YOU!!

Congrats on the move. Looking forward to seeing some of what you’ve had to tiptoe around in the past: socking to the AC-T. Sure, it’s fun to pick on the WLOSers, but the local McPaper can use a good irreverent critiquing here, too.

I second all the congratulations at this well-earned new opportunity! Ashvegas offers entertaining, fun, clearheaded local journalism, no one in town is more suited to doing this job than you, and I really can’t wait to see some of the Ashvegas cool bleed into Mtn. X.
