Cory offline until Dec 12

Cory Doctorow 9:56 am Tue Nov 23, 2004

I'm off for my first multi-week, fully offline holiday since 2001, and it's about time. I won't be answering any mail between now and December 12th. Here's some alternate contact info for while I'm away:

If you've got a Boing Boing suggestion, you can (and should!) use the form. (My lovely and talented co-editors will be blogging as normal!)
If you've got a business-related Boing Boing question, you can direct it to our business manager, John Battelle.
If you've got a professional inquiry about my writing, you can contact Russ Galen, my literary agent.
If you've got a question related to my work for the Electronic Frontier Foundation, please direct it to my colleague Gwen Hinze.

Now, I've got a plane to catch! See you December 12th or so!
