Much thanks and love to all of you who have contacted us in the past week regarding contributing to Austinist. We received close to 100 emails and are very flattered by the desire of all the respondents to be a part of the team. We have sorted through most of the responses and intend to get back to each of you by early next week. We could obviously not take on everyone, although we wish we could. Thanks again. And for those of you who want to contribute but did not contact us, unless you think we can't live without you, please wait for our next call for contributors. In the meantime, keep reading the site and let us know what we can do to make it better.

100, that's crazy. I hope one of your picks is for someone to pick up that idea for a 'best of austin shot in the dark' ads. Even if you just find the best ads shot in the dark or otherwise, that'd be cool to read a weekly best of craigslist like what they already have on cl, but strickly austin ads and with some of your witty commentary.
yea, we were really impressed with the responses, too. very cool. as for the Shot in the Dark thing. i tried to start a weekly column highlighting the best of CL missed connections, but it seemed hard to find good ones. so many are so generic and lame and are full of people without much balls or originality, but we may try and pick that up again and use the AC S-in-the-D as a resource. thanks, john
Mr. Editors, let me introduce you to your new best friend, Ms. Adverse Selection. Ms. Adverse Selection, I know that you just won a Nobel Prize, but could you comment on your new hire?
Hmmm...not surprising, really, your silence, but let's just say that it is a pleasure getting to....wait, fuck I got the wrong Nobel Prize. It was the winners curse problem I wanted. Or really both.
Nobel effort though. Times two. And that means I'm a generous drunk.
