    I really couldn't be happier about this thread. Schiez, will your usual two-inch column suffice?

    Scheiz, if you are lucky enough to get this freelancing gig and want to use it as a clip, focus on making sure it's well-written. Be very anal about it.

    That's it. End of thread. This one went out of the park and is NOT coming back.

    :)

    Thanks for the feedback guys. One solid reply out of 14. That's WAY more than I was expecting.

    I think papers should be more open to stuff like this. Such a story could boost circulation by penetrating into nontraditional areas.

    Yeah, schie, don't get diarrhea of the keyboard; you'd have to send that story to a "specialty publication"

    What is the sound of one hand typing?

    If I could be serious for a moment, </lance storm>, I think it would make for a great story.

    I would love to just walk around and interview the people who go to these things. Find out about them, their lives, and what motivates them to go all the way to New Jersey to see some porn stars.

    For me, the answer is easy. My buddies and I are going to make it part of a trip to Atlantic City, Philly and New York and, really, who doesn't want to meet their favorite porn stars?

    In addition to writing, also tell the papers you're willing to shoot.
