RE: JAMES FREY

One FBvian mourns the cancellation, but for a different reason than you’d think:

That cancellation must have really put a kink in the DMN’s plans. In the edition I got this weekend, one of their citizen journalists wrote a real nice advance of Frey’s appearance — without mentioning the recent unpleasantness.

I was looking forward to the citizen journalist covering the event and writing about it — without covering the real story.

RE: JAMES FREY

My James Frey post yesterday made it to Gawker today. Do I feel cool? Eh, no–just kinda stupid. Adam discussed making it to Gawker for 10 minutes this morning. Then a few minutes later I blurt out, after an FBvian told me we were on the site, “Hey. We made it on Gawker.”

(A final note: I’m a bit upset Gawker’s link to our post goes directly to the press release. Why deny Gawker’s readers FB’s prose?)
