Gray Matters: a new daily feature for HillBuzz
Please give us your thoughts on this, but we think it’s a good idea for Sebastian Gray to have his own daily column here at HillBuzz, writing from on the ground here in Boystown, covering those gray areas that moderates of all stripes have in common, but with his rainbow fabulous snarky flare. We’ve gotten such a great response to Sebastian’s essays lately that we’ve asked him to commit to a regular piece we hope you all will enjoy: we’re going to call it GRAY MATTERS, and hope it establishes itself as the new heart of HillBuzz, as we continue to evolve, grow, and take our site to the next level.
As we do this, if you enjoy Sebastian’s writing and come to love GRAY MATTERS the way we hope you do, we’d appreciate the help in getting this column out there to a wider audience and even suggesting it for syndication on other sites or in publications you have connections to. We’d love to see it carried in LGBTQ papers, especially, because the gay community needs a wakeup call and Sebastian’s just the guy to do it.
We are lousy at marketing HillBuzz and increasing readership. There is just not enough time in the day to do that and also produce quality content…so if you grow to love GRAY MATTERS, we’d love your help in making it the huge success we think it could very well become.
We were approached by a local Chicago LGBTQ publication about taking Sebastian’s column into the weekly-feature realm, and we’re hoping that happens soon, which would be the first time HillBuzz would cross the bridge into printed word, so this is an exciting development for us here at Buzzquarters that will complement what we do online and help us reach a bigger audience.
EVERYTHING we do is geared towards our goals of energizing moderates and taking back our government from wasteful loons, while bringing down ACORN and supporting great candidates, especially women, from both sides of the aisle who are part of Generation Hillary or Team Sarah.
Please share your thoughts on this new concept for us and let us know how else you think we could make GRAY MATTERS a success.

Brilliant idea!!!! Prediction: Gray Matters will be in syndication before 2010. Go Buzz Boyz Go!
I am a fan of Sebastian Gray’s writing so I think that’s a fabulous idea Hillbuzz.
GRAY MATTERS…….LOVE IT! Sebastian, you are a joy to read. Go for it.
I see a book in Sebastian’s future.
Hillbuzz that is a wonderful idea.Sebastian is a brilliant writer.I love the name Gray Matters.Perfect.I am always telling people about your site.I know that your readership has grown quite a lot since I started coming here last year.You guys are going to be one of the top political web sites.I just know it.Looking forward to reading Sebastian’s great articles.
YAY!!
Excellent! As I’ve said before, Sebastian’s writing often puts me in mind of David Sedaris, one of my favorite writers.
Very clever name–triple meaning and all. Maybe I would suggest laying off of Oprah? Pity her more than anything else, but she could be a friend to you eventually, you know? Am I way off base here? Just sayin….
HillBuzz:
Sebastian is an awesome writer, would absolutely love to continue to read his work on this site.. he is pro-hillary and pro-sarah..and NO kool-aid ..
WE LOVE SEBASTIAN!
Love the name, love the idea, love reading Sebastian Snark. I am looking forward to more, just keep it a little pithier?
“Sebastian Snark”.
Great title!
That would be a great idea, Hillbuzz! The only thing I would suggest is maybe finding a way to make the columns a little…shorter? I’m sure I’ll get flamed for this but that’s ok. I just tend to skim his articles because they are so long. He is hilarious though, so having him as a daily guest blogger would be awesome!
Nobody flame Leigh, please.
This is EXACTLY the sort of feedback that is helpful and constructive.
We’ll pass it on to Bastion.
Leigh, PLEASE keep chiming in with helpful suggestions. This is what is needed, as our quest is always to improve.
I agree with Leigh. That is why I said keep it pithy. Sometimes I skim it all too. Sorry, Sebastian, I really love your writing, but I have a bit of ADD, places to go, things to do . . .
Love Sebastian’s writing. Great idea.
Awesome! Looking forward to sittng down in front of my computer with a cup of coffee, or a glass of red wine, and reading away… I feel certain that Gray Matters will be a success!
Fabulous idea! Do it!
