Oh Baby, this sounds like it's going to be a GREAT travel blog. Go Gawker!
Best of luck if you apply!
“Gawker’s publisher is hiring an editor for a forthcoming weblog about global travel. Now, simmer down: you don’t actually get to GO anywhere. However, there are other perks: you get to work at home in your underwear, become an expert in weird, quirky and naughty tidbits all over the world, and, best of all, you get to be a total bastard all day. The site will be a travel guide for people like us, and, hello, we all need to know how to buy hash in Morocco and pick up hookers in Venezuela. Well, and where to stay and eat too, I guess. High maintenance people need not apply. Send your ideas about what’s missing in the travel world to tips@gawker.com and please understand that I will simply delete your email if it bores me. Thanks!”

Eric, good luck with your application. I think they want a good, positive, edgy, spunky, been-there-done-that and ready to share with spitfire wit, attitude. If you want me to delete that last comment in case they look over here in a google search, I’d be happy to. Just let me know.
Thanks for the offer, but there is too much of me out there already to hide by deleting one (typically) self-deprecating remark. I think I’m good, edgy and spunky. My wit is what it is. As for “positive,” sometimes that’s not me. Though most of my seemingly whiney crud is written tongue-in-cheek, Gawker might as well see the real me.
By the way, I’ve ordered your book and can’t wait to read it. Also, I took the liberty of captioning your picture on Blazedell’s blog…
Enjoy the conference and don’t forget to give us a report (or better yet, make Chris O’Neill do it — you’re much too famous…
