Party Planning Experience a Plus

City finally advertises the unfilled Convention Center Director gig.

Don't look now, but the city's finally gotten around to advertising the vacant job of Convention Center Director. Not that there's been any controversy about unposted job openings as of late or anything. Still, think of the cush benefits – free parties and golf balls galore!

(To apply, go here, click Search Postings and look under Convention Center in the Department field. Tell 'em Chronic sent ya – if you want to have absolutely no hope of landing the gig.)
