I'm not sure whether this will fly or not, but I'm bored, so let's give it a go.
In real life, I'm a freelance writer. One of the places I write for is a typical left-wing tabloid with young go-getters on the cover and sex ads in the back. Anyway, I've written three "Best of the City" surveys for that particular publication - surveys that ask readers for the best restaurant or the worst politician or whatever - and I thought it might be fun to do a "Best of the Hip."
It's pretty simple: I've come up with a bunch of questions. I'd like you to email your answers to me. When enough hipbasers have tried (200 would be a nice sample), I'll publish the results, which are sure to be informative and entertaining. If I don't get many replies, I'll just forget about it.
Anyone interested?
If so, e-mail your answers to <!-- e --><a href="mailto:hipsurvey@hotmail.com">hipsurvey@hotmail.com</a><!-- e --> (Don't write your answers below. That would be way too much.)
No need to provide any personal info, since I don't have any prizes. It's just for fun. And, believe me, you don't want anything I own.
Enjoy!!!
