Jacob Cottingham is from Louisville, Kentucky and moved to Austin a year and a half ago after traveling the county for 10 months in a vintage Airstream. He writes about politics, the environment, music and culture for a variety of publications. He’s published a weekly crime newspaper, edited a regional lifestyle magazine and was ghost writer for a book about airlines. In 2007 he received an award for Best Series from the Magazine Association of the Southeast. His favorite freelance job of the last two years was penning ridiculous “How To” articles for eHow.com, which included such gems as “How to Easily Fool A Child” and “How to Build a Ship That Sinks.” A graduate of Bard College, Cottingham is currently a columnist for 303 Magazine in Denver.
