hot commodity

me: dude
Ryan: whoa dude
me: i want in on the ground floor of John Murray....
i'm ready to buy now
Ryan: well, you're not foundation
me: damn
Ryan: i can give you a good price though
me: seriously--ground floor is all i'm asking....i realize foundation is already covered by well-connected insiders, but how can a savvy speculator get in soon?
Ryan: timing. and to be honest, i didn't know today was going to be such a success
me: that winfield glass house post finally sealed the deal. i've been monitoring his assets closely, and this just put him over the edge
Ryan: hahahaha
me: (and i don't even know zak winfield)
Ryan: you'd like zak as well
my favorite part of that shit is when sam chimes in with some weirdness
...
you know i discovered them, yes?
me: i'm going to send you a proposal.
Ryan: i'd appreciate that
me: yeah--i gather that. anything's gotta go through you.
i see a big things here. big things.
Ryan: i'm telling you, murray can go the distance
have you seen his work in short prose?
me: i've been drinking it all up
can't get enough.
big things i'm telling you.
Ryan: http://johnmurray.tumblr.com/post/48769361/spacey-a-disgracey
i think there's a market for this
me: we're looking at a multitude of distribution channels
Ryan: sms, post it notes, flyers, word of mouth, babysitters
me: post cards,craigslist, kaplan test prep comprehension questions, cartoon network
Ryan: now we're talking
you think big, and i like that about you
me: i've got some contracts to draft
expect to hear from my people
