Way to go, Barrett. You guys'll like John--smart and laid back. Even though he's much better versed in this stuff than I am, still: try not to talk too fast, Barrett, and remember that, just as he's interviewing you, sorta, you're interviewing him too. So don't hesitate to ask him what direction HE'D recommend if he were editing the book.

I should be landing in St Louis right about the time you guys finish, so let me know how you think it goes!

Best,
Dan

John-

Good to meet you, or whatever you call that. I just spoke to Gregg on the phone; he was giving a talk at Yale this afternoon (and will be speaking at Harvard in two weeks, incidentally) so is just now getting up to date on this meeting. He'll reply himself when he gets home in about two hours but in the meantime says 11:30 works best for him, so that works for me as well. If you have any questions at all in the meantime, I'll be available via phone and e-mail; otherwise, I'll just plan to speak to you and Gregg at 11:30 EST. And thanks for taking the time to speak with us about the project.

Hey, John Parsley, wicked-cool editor at Little, Brown—

 

I’ve spoken with Barrett Brown, but haven’t yet connected with Gregg Housh, both of whom are on this email, about your interest in speaking tomorrow.  I expect to have connected w/ Gregg before the night’s over, but since I’ll be traveling, and rather than leaving anything to chance, I wanted to put you all in touch with each other.

 

As of five or so tonight, John had identified 10, 11:30 and 12:00 as times that could work for him tomorrow (Thursday).  Barrett prefers the noon slot but can do the others too…  Naturally if John doesn’t hear back from you, we may lose those time slots… But in hopes that the call does happen, here are the #s:

 

Gregg:  (978) 495-0776

Barrett: (512) 560-2302

John:  (212) 364-1451

 

And my cell, should you need me, is 862-202-3246.

 

Thanks, guys.

 

Best,

Dan
