   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

       <http://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
