Submitted a dozen times a couple of years ago, but got disillusioned when I only got ink a couple of times.
Decided to really go for it starting his spring, & have had better luck/success. Now I'm addicted. Have only been to 2 events - the most recent Flushies & an impromptu LoserLunch. Am in just 1 photo in the Flushies. Very funny people in that group. I'd say most (like me) are more on the quiet side, & funny only on paper after several rewrites. But there are a few (Steve Dudzik, Kyle Hendrickson, Dave Zarrow) who are so quick on their feet that it's an absolute riot going to those events. The Empress is terrific in person. And I dunno how she does it - puts the SI together all on her own just 2 days a week (the other 3 days she's a copy editor for "Style"). Had 20,000 entries to comb through a coupla weeks back. Ellen, are you *this* Ellen Goodman - she of the Boston Globe & the Pulitzer Prize for commentary? http://www.postwritersgroup.com/goodman.htm. If so, wow. I take it you know Gene & Pat personally? ________________________________ From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Julie Sent: Thursday, August 02, 2007 1:19 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [wc] Style Invitational Randy is a big-time loser.

Are you in some of the pix, or were you at some of the events but not actually in the pix? There are a lot of pix so I didn't look at all of them. Out of respect for Gene I was just going along with the "joke" or secret or whatever it is. But PtheP is obviously much more blase about the whole thing. When Gene said he slept with the Czarina (or sleeps with her on a regular basis) that pretty much removed all doubt. If you think he's busy now imagine how time consuming the Invitational is! I think it would be a great job but you have to be pretty meticulous to go through all those entries and then make a subjective decision with objective criteria. Or something like that. PtheP is beautiful IMO by the way. --- In [email protected] <mailto:weingartenchatters%40yahoogroups.com> , "Randy Lee" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Pretty much an open secret that the E and PtheP are the same person (a > la the Czar & GW - who's also in some of the pix at the "Czarty" they > threw for him). > > > > If you enter the SI by sending an e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED], you get > back an automated response with Pat Myers's name and e-mail address > ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) in the autosig.
