  • Black Friday Sales: Amazon

    Hey MM readers--since we're taking a vacation tomorrow to eat turkey, give thanks, and sleep in, today we'll be showing you the best of the Black Friday sales. Check back throughout the day for deals from your favorite stores!

    I've done Black Friday exactly once, and that was only because I lived two blocks from the store. Other than that, I avoid the lines by going ONline (yes, I do get paid to do this). Hilariously, if you want the really good Black Friday online deals, you still need to wake up early, and spend all day refreshing websites, but at least you don't need to take your jammies off. Amazon always has some excellent deals, and here are three of my favorites:

  • At Least Your Guitar CASE Can Play Music


    I believe this product might have been made by a company who has no idea who plays guitars, and who listens to iPods, and that those people sometimes hate each other. In fact, I would put the ven diagram of those two subsections far remote from the people who would actually use the Gator Lightweight Electric Guitar/iPod Case. Here, you know what? I made you guys a diagram:

about the blogger

Wendy Atterberry is a recent transplant to New York City via Chicago. You can often find her at some karaoke dive bar singing her repertoire, which includes "Midnight Train to Georgia," "Daniel," and most recently, "Sweet Dreams." Don't expect her to always hit the right notes. She lives in Manhattan with her boyfriend and two cats, and has a blog like everyone else.

Alex Zalben is a writer living in New York City. He's written for McSweeney's, Modern Humorist and PulpSecret.com. As one-fifth of the sketch comedy group Elephant Larry, he has been written up in the New York Times, Chicago Tribune, and pretty much every other major publication. Their blog was named one of PC Magazine's Top Blogs for 2007, and they recently won an ECNY Award for their viral short, "Minesweeper: The Movie." Alex did not know love until he bought his first Mac.

Steph Auteri is a freelance writer and proofreader who has been published in Publishers Weekly, New York Press, Playgirl, and other bastions of fine writing. She maintains a professional site https://www.stephiswrite.com, and also blogs about freelancing over at Freelancedom. You can keep up on her day-to-day by visiting her Twitter page.

Diana Vilibert is a freelance writer, among other things. Born in Lithuania, she now lives in New Jersey, where she doesn't have to walk to work ten miles in the snow, barefoot, uphill both ways. Diana cannot afford most of the products she writes about because she buys too many pairs of heels to make up for her shoeless childhood. She's written for MarieClaire.com, Janemag.com, and CosmoGIRL!.

Shaun Seneviratne is a dude just like anyone else. Just your average guy that raps Bone Thugs-n-Harmony to strangers on the subway at 4 a.m., doesn't chew his food because he believes it's a waste of time, and sleeps next to a scale replica of the Ghostbusters headquarters. He can rest easy knowing Egon, Peter, Ray, and Winston have his back. He currently lives in northern New Jersey, plays bass in Rapid Cities, and recently started a tumblr.
