We'll Be Written Up! But In A Good Way!

Not everyone looks at the "New Posts" or "Today's Posts" link on the menubar, so I want to call your attention to the following, posted in "Cruising for Whatever." I'm reposting this in a few of the most active Forums to make sure that frequent members and guests do see it. Unfortunately this will probably appear multiple times under "New Posts" and "Today's Posts" but that will soon go away.

The post speaks for itself, but I want you to know that I endorse the project and I am going to be interviewed myself, since I knew Keith and had worked with him from 2000 until his passing in 2012:

Post Did you cruise in the early 90s? I want to interview you.

Hi friends,

I'm a journalist working on a feature piece about the early days of the Internet, cruising, and the legacy of Keith Griffith. So far, I've made plenty of connections with web founders, scholars, and friends of Keith, but I need the real, raw stories of those that actually use the website.

So, did you use this website to cruise in the early '90s? Please get in touch! I will happily credit you as anonymous. The piece is an oral history of the queer Internet (no pun intended), so your voice is vital.

Please email me at kwisniewski90@gmail.com

Here's a link to the post if you wish to reply there, although it would be really great if you can contact her by email as she requests.

Interesting that it is a woman writing the article. Do you know where the article is for? Magazine? Website?

I know that she works for a company that owns several web sites, but I don't know if the piece is for one of those or will be published elsewhere. That's among the things I intend to ask.

I'm editing this to add that she seems to be a lesbian, looking at the following piece and another she wrote about Ellen DeGeneres' house:

My Girlfriend and I Spent Our Six-Month Anniversary at a Poconos Honeymoon Hotel

She was also extremely sympathetic when I explained to her how pressed for time I am partly due to my partner's series of illnesses and disability. Always juggling here...

LOL - yeah I would guess her being a lesbian is a pretty safe bet!

HA, yes. Im a lesbian. I also live in a queer house and run a zine called Fag Hag with my best friend. And, yes, I do write for a variety of websites. But this article will be published on AtlasObscura.com. which was just bought by Slate and is undergoing a huge overhaul. This article will be one of the first publications post-makeover. Please email me with any other questions!
