Hey... A bit of business as we head into the weekend -- I've got a request for all you boozers out there...

I am going to be co-editing a weekly online magazine that is going up in January called The Grange Hall. The Grange is going to cover politics, books, trends, dating and debauchery -- all from a personal point of view (think This American Life meets Slate). One of the many weekly topics is going to be BLACK OUT which will feature drunken takes of debauchery and I am currently looking for contributors... Pieces should be no more than 500 words -- and links to UTube showing you running drunk (and possibly naked) across Avenua A for e.g. are more than welcome... We also have one contributor who chronicled his night (which began with dinner with his girlfriend and ended with him naked in jail) in the form of a photo essay proving a picture really is worth a thousand words (or in this case 500). If you have a great story to tell I want to publish it! Shoot me an email if you are interested or want to know more...

also -- memo to my Cousin Charlesworth (who has a great myspace blog that you should all check out): You better get a new post up soon or I'm going to tell everyone how you planted drugs on me when we went to Antigua (and p.s. - I will also mention how you tried to sell me to a resort owner in the rather dubious "sex for two extra free weeks of vacation" plan that was hatched with the assorted Rastafarians that you invited to stay in our room... )
