Cool - I hope she hooked up with you. You can actually upload the pic yourself now - we fixed that feature.

Also, a friend just e-mailed me this picture; might work better for the head shot if your guys crop out the chick.

           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:

           http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeff_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>
               <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

               Matt Zaller
               Senior Producer
               National Lampoon
