 20060407 Aftermath
 Last night, we hosted a book release party for everyone at CV, the publishers, those close to the company, and other industry types. I imagined it would be a pretty tame gathering since it was supposed to be a 6:30-9pm thing. BUT -- everyone, decked out in business casual, came to rage. It was as college! as ever. I left at 11pm to go grab late-night burgers and came back late to find one of my co-workers passed out in my room, shamed with permanent marking drawings all over his face and arms. I suspect the Penguin Books team. They were out of control. This morning, I mistook my apartment for a bomb scene with one sole victim (the guy passed out on my couch). Even better, I woke up to find the book #44 on Amazon. Thanks again to every one who made this happen. It's very exciting for me to be along for the ride. 1

Jeff said... Ahh, I hope that shaming actually goes up on the site to show just how college! you guys still are. I wish my old apartment looked that good after a rager. I was actually ashamed while watching Dig! when I realized the Brian Jonestown Massacre's heroin/crack/squat house was in better shape than my apartment at times. Now THAT'S bad. 3:54 PM Post a Comment |

 Hi, I'm Zach. I grew up in Fort Wayne, Indiana and graduated from Wake Forest. After college, I moved to Manhattan to get serious about a company I ran with friends. We sold it to Barry Diller's InterActiveCorp in 2006. I just wrapped up with a project I co-founded called Vimeo and left CV to focus on being a twenty-five year old. I have another blog called Copy and Taste, where I post about learning to cook. I live in Brooklyn now.
