bizarro world

Here's part of an email I received today:

Hi Wendy,

My name is ("name removed for privacy reasons") and I am a producer at TODAY - WEEKEND EDITION with the Nine Network.

This weekend will be the 20th anniversary since Seinfeld debuted and I understand you are the press contact regarding this.

I would love to chat to you about this as soon as possible.

I am not, and never have been a press contact for anything, let alone the 20th anniversary of Seinfeld (although that sounds like a pretty fun job and one that I would like). I rang the producer back and explained this to her. Apparently my contacts appear on some events list that the media has access to saying that I am officially connected to the 20th anniversary of Seinfeld in some way. What a little bit of blogging leads to! I offered to send her my blog address. I think she was hoping for press releases.

It was a bizarro moment in an otherwise very ordinary day. For a moment there, I was almost important.
