To clarify, I noted on my application that I am doing numerous pieces on SXSW. Sam Apple has just sent letter of assignment.

Okay, Sam Apple should be e-mailing the letter of assignment he just sent me; I'll be doing a couple of short pieces for him, among other things, as well as the articles discussed in my application. Tim Rogers might also send an e-mail although D Magazine is doing a profile on me due to the HBGary heist so not sure if I can still write for them, but I might.

No, I mean that Michael Hastings is in Peshewar or something and I can't reach him; he's my editor there. I'm still going to be doing several pieces on SXSW; just trying to get you guys whatever paperwork is needed.

Ok, so no more Rolling Stone? Make sure they detail exactly what you're covering since it's a different outlet than what you applied for.

Thank you.

Kelly-

I've asked Tim Rogers at D Magazine to provide you with such a letter, along with Sam Apple of The Faster Times; hopefully they will get in touch with you soon.

Hi Barrett -

I know you write for several outlets, but need the LOA to come from the outlet which you applied for: Rolling Stone. Sorry to push back here, but we have to have them before we can process your application. You're in the system, so you're technically fine thus far as far as making that deadline. Please send through as soon as possible.

Best,
Kelly

I'm working on it but Michael Hastings is out of the country and hasn't gotten back to me. Does it count that I'm considered to be spokesman for Anonymous by Bloomberg, New York Times, NPR, al-Jazeera, and other parties, including Anonymous itself?
