Who Are You?

(You can tell that my iTunes baby boomer concert series is really going strong today. Thanks to The Who for inspiring this title.)

My dear 1/2 priced Valentine's day candy loving readers--

I have recently been thinking about who reads W&CP.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE getting your comments (and figuring out who theyr'e from--especially the people who don't leave me any clue who they are like the "Josh" who commented on one of my Toronto posts), e-mails, feedback when I see you in real life, and especially love watching my Google Analytics account for spikes in readership (did you know that people from India, Israel, and Ireland are all subscribers?)... I love knowing that you forward links to my blog to your mom (Hi Moms!) and that your brother-in-law in Ohio is now a subscriber. And to those of you whom* I've never met, I want to know you too!

So, I decided that I want to institute a little feature highlighting you! Who are you? What products do you enjoy? Did you recently eat something that was so good you can't wait to go back for more? What is your favorite challah recipe? Do you love shopping on Etsy and who is your favorite seller? Did you just finish a creative wall hanging project in your living room that you're really proud of and want to show off? Well, this shindig is for you!


This is the plan:

• You e-mail me and express interest in my new Wild and Crazy YOU campaign.
• Based on the number of responses (is it possible that this will really take-off and I will be inundated with e-mails about this project?) I will get in touch with you and we'll find a time to connect.
• We will chat about some of the above questions and perhaps other things I find mildly diverting and then I will blog about you!
• You will be famous.
  

It occurs to me that this is the PERFECT time for a FAQ (who doesn't love a good FAQ?). Here are the answers to some questions that may come up about Wild and Crazy You:

I live in Nebraska. Can I still be Wild and Crazy cool?
Oh yes! This is why we have video chat (and cell phones).

I am worried you'll think I'm a stalker if I contact you. Perhaps I shouldn't participate.
If you're actually a stalker, please don't contact me.

But, if you have fun things to share, bring it on! I am specifically looking for products you can't live without (if you were to ever buy a lifetime supply of something, what would it be?) and other fun/quirky things that other people will find helpful and amazing.

If you already know me, can I still participate in this fiesta?
For sure. You will, however, be required to dress in a costume and pretend we've never met (just for fun).

I am a celebrity. Do you think the Blogger servers can handle the traffic created when you post something about me?
I am sure they can. I'm talking to you, Mayim Bialik.

Sound good? If so, shoot me an e-mail (emily.goodstein@gmail.com) and we'll go from there!
