Scott Chaffin points me to this Tim Rogers post over at D Magazine’s blog:
Last week, I made the offer to buy the first beer for any fired Newsy who cared to meet at the Old Monk. The offer was premature–though I did get one e-mail asking me if I was serious. Yes, I was serious. And since I understand today is actually the day when blood will flow, I’m offering the same deal:
If you get fired from the News today, I will buy your first beer at the Old Monk at 5. But you have to RSVP via e-mail to me, and you have to be able to prove you were fired.
I’ll make a similar offer to any Chronicle staffers who were let go in the big shakeup.
I’ll buy the first round at the West Alabama Icehouse this weekend for any laid off Chron staffer who will RSVP me (click on my name at the bottom of this post to send a message to me). I’ll want some proof of the firing since blogHOUSTON suffers from *ahem* limited resources to say the least. But I’m genuinely interested in hearing about your experiences with Houston’s leading information source.
