Introduction to CHAT


It’s true, your inbox has more of me. Let’s move it to a phone, with no cord.
I’d like to CHAT while I’m at NBA games, starting on Saturday evening while I’m at the Pacers/Magic contest.

I completely cut and pasted this next part from Zach Pearson’s terrific Pacers Substack, Pacers Press.
To join our chat, you’ll need to download the Substack app (messages are sent via the app, not email).
How to get started
- Download the app by clicking this link or the button below. Chat is only on iOS for now, but chat is coming to the Android app soon.
- Open the app and tap the Chat icon. It looks like two bubbles in the bottom bar, and you’ll see a row for my chat inside.

- That’s it! Jump into my thread to say hi, and if you have any issues, check out Substack’s FAQ.
This isn’t an alternative to Twitter, this is an introduction to YOU.
(I just tried to come up with something Silicone. It’s not bad.)
Pictures are welcome, please post pictures, I want people looking over my shoulder at press row to wonder why there is a shot of Slim Goodbody filling up the balding sportswriter’s phone.
There are already two threads up, one with my trip to the Nixon Library, another from a Clippers/Lakers game, go goof around, drop a note. You do not need to be a subscriber to CHAT.
I’ll send a game thread when I’m at the stadium.
See you at the game tonight!

Soul Train Saturday. They took down the clip of Greg actually miming this song on Soul Train.
Picture of Walter Becker using the internet is from the 1996 Steely Dan tour diaries.
Thank you for your CHAT consideration.
