My cousin Chris is famous

His name is Chris Neary and he's an independent producer over at Chicago Public Radio.

Today he's got an interesting piece on a small shop in Chicago’s Bronzeville neighborhood that makes custom prom dresses.

Listen to/Read 'Designing a Night to Remember' on CPR

Chris is actually trying to have a journalism career (unlike myself.)

My biggest claim to fame as a journalist is a dubious one: Writing about American Idol for phillyBurbs.com.

That said The Globe did quote one of my articles this year, so I must be doing SOMETHING right.

Anyway, enough about me - nice job Chris!
