Entertainment reporter/columnist

Andrew McGinn has covered entertainment for the Springfield News-Sun since the 20th century (well, 1999). Originally from Iowa (some people wish he would go back), McGinn lives in Springfield with his wife and son and two too many cats in a house that requires too much work. When he's not obsessively lint-rollering the furniture because of the cats and mowing, he likes to listen to music and read comics and think about volunteering somewhere but never actually doing it.

McGinn: Does Bigfoot live here or is he just passing through?

3:00 PM Wednesday, January 25, 2012
