This blog might not be an A-lister, but when the big bloggers need a favor, they come here first. Just got an urgent missive from Jeff Goldstein, which I'll present in its entirety, with minor editing:
Hello,allWalter. Apologies for themass emailpersonal message, but I'm a very busy man-- this being Cinco de Mayo and me being both a lush and a fiend for really good guacamole.Anyway, I'm writing to let you all know that I'm running a fundraiser for protein
wisdom. Hosting, DSL costs, and the need to move into a bigger house have prompted me to do this for only the second time since my blog started in Dec of 2001 (true, I took 18 months off in between, but that's just nitpicking, isn't it?).I realize this is supposed to be a hobby, etc., but I spend enough time on it that I don't feel too terrible about asking readers to help me buy an enormous mountain estate. Once I can pay off my school loans, of course.
If you can find a way to mention it on your site
sor direct people to my site to help me out, I'd greatly appreciate it. My post is here:
http://www.proteinwisdom.com/index.php/weblog/entry/20268/...and will remain up through next weekend.
And don't think I'm doing this out of greed. I'm not.
I'm doing it because I'm Jewish. Which, surprisingly, hasn't convinced Howard Dean to cough up any dough so far. The poseur.
Best,
Jeff GP.S. If your readers at Walter In Denver can come up with enough cash I could see my way into letting you and the kids spend some time in the new guest house. Especially if you are handy with yard work.
Now's a good time to give something back for all the free pie.
