Nicole L. Browner has worn many hats for The Bay Bridged over the past five-plus years, writing and editing for the web site, shooting photos, creating videos, helping produce our festivals, and being an unending source of creativity and enthusiasm.

This week, Nicole is moving to New York, and while we’re sad to lose her, we’re excited for her future pursuits and jealous of whoever she works with next. Here are just a handful of highlights from Nicole’s long involvement with The Bay Bridged:

• Sharon Van Etten: powerful, charming, and funny at The Independent
• On experiencing The Postal Service’s ‘Give Up’ a decade after it was one’s favorite album
• Magic Bullets’ seven-year search for the perfect sound
• Tim Presley (White Fence) talks about the gang violence, punk nostalgia behind his music

We’ll miss you, Nicole!
