Send 'em in!

So I picked up a copy of Travel Savvy the other day. Their tagline is Lists That Matter and since I happen to get an inordinate amount of joy out of both creating and perusing other people's lists, I figured this was the magazine for me. Truth be told, I also sent in a pitch to them a few weeks ago. They were looking for freelance writers to submit their top lists as well as the name of the "expert" behind them. Well hell's bells, I'm as much as an expert on stuff as anyone, right? Shockingly, my Best Inexpensive Eats didn't hold a candle to "20 Ways To Find Passion In Argentina" or "9 Best Soccer Watching Venues" or "5 Best Telescope Hotels". (What the hell is a telescope hotel?) The choices aren't quite exotic enough to make for good daydream activity or over-the-top enough for a good giggle. I want a magazine that chronicles Stuff That Matters, like "5 Life Defining Moments" (although Vogue may have already stolen that one) or "10 Songs On Your Ipod That Would Incite Ridicule" (that would be a toss-up between "Complicated" by Avril Levigne or "Don't Stop Believing") or "Alisha's Favorite Writing Utensils" (Le Pen or Pilot pen's G5). I would invite other people to send in their lists too. People love writing lists! I figure if Found Magazine can make a go of it photocopying things that people find on the street, a magazine of lists can't be that crazy.
