If you’ve never heard of Thrillist, think DailyCandy for guys. Less shoes and spas. More beer and bawdy. As in, here’s the preamble to their announcement that they’re launching a Dallas outpost in the next couple of weeks:
Even in a city as aggressive about leisure as Dallas, the most intrepid men can get caught in a rut, drinking the same booze, rubbing the same elbows, and passing out in the same apartment courtyard hot tub that once seemed so full of promise, but now bubbles with shame.
I don’t know who the Dallas editor will be, but a couple weeks back, I had a chat with Adam Rich, the founder of Thrillist, about some folks who I thought might be right for the job. My favorite part of the conversation was where he described the editor’s duties, and I unintentionally insulted him by saying it didn’t sound like a 40-hour-a-week job.
Again, Adam, I’m sorry. You have my résumé. If I can send you some clips, just let me know.
