me: how's everything going over there?
Sam: pretty good. how bout you
me: good, was just curious about Faster Times in general
me: did that former NYT copyeditor get in touch with you?
Sam: i don't think so
me: the fellow's doing a documentary on the news industry, I pointed him in your direction
me: I see, maybe he'll contact you later
Sam: oh, yeah, you mentioned that. i don't think he did. do you remember his name
me: he called me but I mostly just spouted revolutionary jargon
me: Adam something
me: let me see
me: Adam Chadwick
me: anyway, just wanted to check on that, are you making any money with FT?
Sam: no, never heard from him
Sam: we're starting to make a little money via side projects. i'm actually about to introduce a new cash for scoops thing, that i hope will lead to some actual news breaking
me: groovy, let me know if I can be of any service
Sam: plus, yoko ono is now following us on twitter
me: I'm doing film stuff now and concentrating on my anarchist syndicate so haven't been writing much
me: lol, Yoko
Sam: when does your syndicate go live
me: well, we're already active, but the software under which we'll ultimately operate will be ready in two months
Sam: are you back in new york?
me: I always think of when Yoko took out the full-page ad in the Village Voice on Father's Day to tell men that although they find the superiority of women frightening, they will continue to ally themselves with males and support them
me: nah, still in Dallas, writing a lot for D Magazine which lets me go after the state's pundits
me: might come back eventually, won't remain here for much longer anyway
me: let me know if there's anything I can help you with in the meantime
Sam: well, would be rad if you participate in the cash for scoops thing. details coming soon
me: word
