Oh! Hey! Gawker! Call on me! Vanity Fair's circulation back office is in Boone, Iowa, which was buried under a blizzard yesterday. No one went to work yesterday, and only a handful did today. (I earned 15 community college credits in Boone in the late 90s and never, ever, ever thought Boone would make Gawker. It's Mamie Doud Eisenhower's birthplace, you know!)
@bytememehard: I work in New York. Most magazine publishers outsource their customer service--in this case, Iowa, where the weather forced closures of most of the facilities.
GW is having a breakdown? Nan Darien has finally snapped, taken a KPMG droid in a polyester suit hostage? Ed Coaster spilled his Venti Blanton's on the computer? (oh that roguish Uncle Ed)
Maybe the glare from Meryl's forehead focused for an instant on one of their auxiliary propane storage cannisters, causing a devastating explosion that ripped one whole side off of the building!
@TheUptightMidwesterner: As one uptight-ex-midwesterner (minnesota no less) I take that as the highest of compliments coming from another uptight midwestern. (are you really in the midwest?)
@TheUptightMidwesterner: heart you fellow minnesotan. I'm trapped in the evils of NYC (which I kinda love), but I threaten to move back every two months
@miss_msry: I'm sorry, but I don't accept answers phrased in the form of a question. All answers must be submitted in the form of a prepositional phrase.
Jon Ronson also wandered into BG in his book Them, which is amusing because he was doing it at the same time as Alex Jones. Jones decided to take the Rambo/Spider-Man route (the hard way), and Ronson literally walked in the front gate.
I don't care if he was an ass in school. He good and fucked up the Monkey Bar, which was my go-to quiet, fancy bar to get my drink on at 3:00 p.m. Pompous, smug, rotund, self-hating (WHO does not like Canadians!) usurper of favored old-school watering holes, I curse your name!
