What’s going on over at the Big Sky Blog? You can learn about the Devil’s Brigade that formed and trained in Montana; where Montana stacks up in the annual “Smart States” rankings; a cool new book called “Waking Lazarus” from Montanan T.L Hines; Cosmo mag’s “Hot Guy” of Montana; and Miss Teen USA, from Montana. And of course you can always browse through the entire Big Sky Blogroll to meet smart, beautiful, and witty Montanans from all over the state!
