Congratulations! Obviously, this is kind of late and your run with Late Night has already started. I think you all are doing a great job! You mentioned on Twitter a couple of things you were working on and I just wanted to pass on some recommendations (should this even get to you). Looking for a Southwest employee to bring on the show? Kaci Beeler recently won a contest to become Southwest's blog-o-spondent. Here's a link to her latest video blog: http://blogsouthwest.com/video/southwest-airlines-blog-o-spondent-chicago . She's really awesome and I think she'd be a great guest! Plus, she could probably squeeze in a blog or two while in NY. Looking for a video game to feature? Vin Diesel's The Wheelman (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wheelman) is coming out in a few weeks. Shaun Himmerick is one of the producers of the game and he's a friend and a hell of a guy. He'd be a great guy to have on to push it. Here's an interview with him re: Wheelman: http://www.gamespot.com/xbox360/driving/wheelman/video/6189574/the-wheelman-interview Hope this isn't too much of a hassle, but I thought this was the best way to get this info to you. Thanks! - jose Hi, Gavin!

I found the Times' Magazine article (and Virginia's lack of public response to your comment post afterwards) just another example of how some people with traditional media aren't getting it. I'm not one of the PR guys saying that print/old media is dead, but they need to (and should have been) adapting at a greater pace. Hopefully big things will come from your work with Jimmy. Enjoy NYC, email me if you want some ideas on divey bars and eats Gavin,
