Sweet, Sweet Fame
Hey look, I’m in the New York Times!
This is not the only blogger house. Ezra Klein, a 23-year-old writer and blogger for The American Prospect, lives with three other journalists, many of whom also blog. And the house named Casa de Libertarios, where Julian Sanchez, 28, and David Weigel, 26, live, is just three blocks away from the Flophouse. Mr. Sanchez and Mr. Weigel, both bloggers and editors at Reason, a libertarian magazine, once lived with a third Reason colleague who has since moved out. When the magazine didn’t have a Washington office, they’d spend all day at home or in a nearby cafe, working.
Mr. Weigel said he remembers bumping into his roommate doing laundry and ending up in a 15-minute discussion about immigration policy, the sort of conversation that might later make it into one of his posts. The culture “is weirdly public,” Mr. Sanchez said. “In the back of your head, you know your night at the bar could end up as a small item read by several thousand readers.”
Someday, when I am truly notable, the Times will do a full out A-1 rundown of my previous living arrangements without using my name. Anyway, it’s a cute article, so check it out.

For some reason, I had guessed that the “third colleague” was Robert W. Poole, Jr.

In the back of your head, you know your night at the bar could end up as a small item read by several thousand readers.
Well you could always shoot up the place or run around naked screaming bloody murder…then it would be read by several million readers.
