THE INSIDE DISH

At long last, we hope to be emailing out our weekly newsletter this weekend. We’re calling it the “INSIDE DISH.” It’s my way of saying thank you to those donors who have supported this site so passionately for so long. It will have extra Dish items not seen on the blog, a private weekly round-up, access to new articles a day or so before they appear on the blog itself, archive downloads, and, coming soon, early access to a goodies store of coffee mugs, t-shirts, etc. If you donated money by Paypal or credit card or other electronic means, we’ll be sending it to the email address we received at the time, i.e. to about 4500 people. (And, of course, you can unsubscribe at any time.) But if you sent money by check and didn’t include your email address, we won’t be able to email it to you, for obvious reasons. So if this is you and you want to receive the “Inside Dish,” please send your email address with the name on your check to Robert at webmaster@andrewsullivan.com. Robert set up a master-list of all contributors so it should be relatively easy to cross-check and make sure we have a complete list. And, of course, if you have never sent any donations to the site and are feeling a little guilty about that, this is a great time to make amends. If you donate $20 or more, you’ll help keep this blog running, and we’ll put you on the list and send you the Inside Dish pronto. With the huge increase in traffic in the last year, our bandwidth expenses have doubled, and every donation helps to keep this site solvent. Here’s a link to the “Tipping Point” page telling you how to do this. If you have a credit card, it couldn’t be simpler. Thanks a million again.
