Justin is on Vacation, But You’re in Extremely Good Hands

I’m taking this week off for a short vacation before my wife and I have our baby in mid September. While I’m gone, the site will be in the hands of two very qualified guest editors whom you should not hesitate to contact.

Felicia Mello will run the site on Monday and Tuesday, July 30-31. You can reach her at felicia.mello@patch.com or at 916-281-6330.

Angela Swartz will be your editor from Wednesday-Friday, August 1-3. You can reach her at akswartz@ucdavis.edu or at 650-504-3709.

While I’m away (with my head buried in a book rather than a laptop), the site will run exactly as it does when I’m here. And while I’m spending a few days shampooing our carpet and learning how to install a car seat, Felicia and Angela will be ready and willing to take your news tips and answer questions.  

Enjoy your week and I’ll see you soon! Comment on this article if you have any questions.

How to smash a pie in my face:

I’m trying to get our Facebook page to 1,000 fans as quickly as possible. If you haven’t told your friends about Davis Patch, do it now by sharing the link below and telling them to “like” the page.

If we reach 1,000 Facebook fans during my vacation, I'll throw a pie party and I'll let one lucky Facebook fan smash a pie in my face on video. We have 917 fans at the time of this writing. I'll be back on August 6. Ready, go!
