Letter to the Editor: NYE Edition





P.J. from Vienna writes:

"Hey CW! Where was your New Year's Eve post?? I turned down an invite to a tight NYC record-industry party cuz I thought you said something about live coverage. How did Chris ring in the new year?? What did he eat for dinner?? This is BOGUS, man! Big ups to Chris."

CW replies: There there, P.J. You sound like a loyal Chris Weekly reader and so you should know by now that our "live" coverage of special events is oftentimes delayed. We're not saying anything, but we reserve the right to invoke Chris's mantra in situations like this: "Chill."

Chris kept it low-key this NYE. When asked why by CW, he answered, "I don't check the clock or calendar before I party. I already rang in 2008 several times throughout December." He instead called up his favorite online publication and invited us for a session of cocktails and high-calorie, refined-sugar snacks before a late-night dinner at the ol' CW company hangout, The Carlyle, in time to revel in the last 45 minutes of 2007 with a beer (him) and Manhattan (us). Chris then took advantage of CW's lax expense policy and enjoyed his new 'Lyle favorite, the hangar steak and Parmesan mash, on us. We happily obliged but not before he granted us permission to release these exclusive action shots. Enjoy!

CW thanks its fans, old and new, international and domestic, for their support throughout 2007. Step it up in 08, would ya? Happy New Year, everyone.

Dear Editor:
I would like to take this opportunity to express my delight in seeing my own son, CHRIS (Chris M, that is) on your fantastic website! He and Chris's sister-in-law, Meredith, just left our house after telling me the now famous CHRIStmas tree story. I have to agree with you about the ornaments being second tier on the back of the tree. There has been years that my own Chris M would not even make the effort to put ornaments on the back of our tree. I am curious to know how the ChrisWeekly staff, well, actually Chris, would have solved the leaking tree dilemma?
Anyway, I certainly feel that Chris M should be in the running as FOC in the near future. I mean, they have the same name and when Chris M was in college his roomates had a little game called "I Wanna Be Like Chris". Need I say more......I think not.
