Hi Barrett,

As you may know, we don't publish over the weekend. We would love to have you submit a guest column.

Thanks,

Howdy-

This is Barrett Brown; I attended UT in 2000-2001 before quitting, during which time I wrote two op-eds for The Texan. Since then I've been a regular contributor to Vanity Fair, The Guardian, New York Press, Skeptical Inquirer, and other outlets, and just signed a deal to co-author a book on Anonymous that will be released next year. I'm coming down to Austin tomorrow for Occupy Austin, which I know you've been covering, and was wondering if you'd be interested in a 600-word op-ed on the OWS movement, Anonymous, and UT's potential role as the central node of online activism. Let me know what you think.
