Person
Ruth Brown is an Australian-born journalist and writer. She currently works as the arts and entertainment editor at The Brooklyn Paper, and previously worked as an editor and reporter at Willamette Week in Portland, Oregon--the best coffee city in the country (yeah, you heard me, San Francisco). When not imbibing medically inadvisable amounts of caffeine, she enjoys combat sports and pub rock.
