Since this is my last weekend on the site until I return, begging for a job as James Del’s assistant, I’ve invited some friends along. Elizabeth Spiers is the founding editor of Gawker. Mallory Keaton doesn’t like her.

“I also just agreed to write a column for TheAwl.com from the perspective of Choire Sicha’s cat, which is descriptively if literally named “Cat.” For this I will be paid the ongoing Awl freelance rate of $0.00 a word. Which is almost what I got paid at Gawker. Cat welcomes topic suggestions, which can also be sent to espiers AT gmail.”

The final weekend has started. If you’ve ever wanted to be published on this website, now would be a good time to email me. We’re basically running this play for the next two days.

Think I’d get in trouble if I left an open blink tag on the site?
SO.
Tomorrow starts my last weekend at my old job before Monday, when I start with the Village Voice. I have invited friends to come play! If you would like to come play, you’re more than welcome to! Because basically I’m doing whatever I feel like doing and hopefully will break some shit on my way out. Would you like to break some stuff?

The dialectic of the average media critic career goes like so: Brash outsider upstart gets a foot in the door, gains notoriety for speaking truth to the calcified media power structure, thereby becomes more of an insider, trades a bit of his license to speak harshly for access to inside stories, and keeps on trading, forever, until another brash young outsider upstart comes around and starts...

On The Fine Art Of Speaking About Your Balls In...
Well, lots of people have done their Tumblr Reads recaps, and here’s mine: I had a really great time until I read! And then realized that I had written something that involved
Drug abuse.
Past relationships.
Balls.
Surgery.
And a coming-of-age story that
was absolutely about me.
Needless to say, I’m not someone who spends a lot of time writing “personal” things and...

“Disturbing,” huh? Well, I guess people don’t think balls are nearly as funny as I do.

Somehow, whether or not your child reads Details wasn’t factored into the equation.
Things I'd Rather Talk About
Does anybody want to go see the new Martin McDonaugh play with me?
UPDATE: Just found this.
The play is classic McDonagh – lots of questionable language, lots of parts that are not for the squeamish, very very black comedy, and it all adds up to a very entertaining evening. If you love McDonagh (as I do), you will love the show. If you are not a fan of his work, I don’t think this play will...

The Times, They Change
Village Voice EIC Tony Ortega has nothing to do during the weekend but read us. Yay, readers! :) ANYWAY.
…aren’t old crunchy media people funny? They still believe in nonsense like paper goods, and that people still think inner-media buttfuckery is worth reading or writing about. Sigh. This is a throwaway item. And no, Ortega, we’re not giving you the link. Our readers can...
ANYWAY.
Well, word gets out fast, doesn’t it?
