So, I just got off the phone with Jennifer Brooks from the Tennessean. She did nothing to assuage my fears that Bill Hobbs might slowly take over the world with his mad YouTubing skills, but she did say that she expects he will some day end up at the center of some precedent-setting lawsuit. Hobbs v. Blogosphere I joked and she laughed.
Anyway, it was weird and I admitted that I started blogging primarily because I figured if those kids who wrote about professional wrestling could fill the internet with their stuff, I sure ought to be able to fill the internet with mine. And I gave props to Brittney and Tiny Pasture for their early work giving a nexus to the local blogosphere.
We talked for about half an hour, but knowing how that stuff works, I’m sure it will be distilled down to one quote. I hope I don’t sound like a doofus.
She asked if I wanted to submit a headshot. Ha ha ha. No.
And no, I didn’t offer to send her a picture of the boob freckle to run in place of my face.
Anyway, the story should run tomorrow. I’ll be curious to see who else she interviewed.

You didn’t send her a photo and press release about the boob freckle? You don’t really have a good handle on marketing, do you?
I’ll have you know that Aunt B is the first three hits when you Google “boob freckle.” I was going to suggest that we Google-bump her in anticipation of the article, but I see that there is no need.
Yes, but if the Tennessean doesn’t mention it, how will readers know to google it?
Ummm… I remember that awesomely beautiful picture of you taken on a whim with lipstick that was drop-dead gorgous. Forget the boob freckle… send the Sexy Elvira pic!
Yes, but if the Tennessean doesn’t mention it, how will readers know to google it?
