Hi, Matt-

Sure, I'm down. I'll send along a headshot in a bit as soon as I find the damned thing. Also, I'm in touch with a prominent and rather brilliant blogger by the name of Jeff Goldstein who says he'd be willing to contribute as well and who could do a damned good job of promoting it, being something of an internet celebrity with a dedicated following. More info on Goldstein:

Let me know if you'd like me to give him your contact info; I'm planning on chatting with him around noon or so.

Thanks,

Barrett

Hey Barrett,

Apologies for the belated response, we've had quite a few submissions to weed through. I'm Matt, the creator and managing editor of The Zaz Report!, National Lampoon's pop culture humor blog: www.thezazreport.com.

I'd be honored to have you contribute to our site! You used to freelance for us eh? Well, welcome back! I read your McSweeney's piece and really enjoyed it.

If you're interested still, you'll be added to an email list that will go out weekly. This email is headed up by one of the writers named JP - and he generally tries to get people to collaborate and share ideas. Basically, everything is fair game on the site. You can embed videos, make funny pics, blog about whatever. Just don't get us sued...that's pretty much the only requirement.

Besides writing funny content we're hoping that you can help promote us. For example, if you have a site or another blog, link to us. Try and spread the word in general, basically.

To get started, send me the headshot that you'd want me to display and I'll set you up an account. I'm sorry we can't offer any pay for the position, and please feel free to email back with any questions.

Best,

Matt
