Thrillist's Email Newsletter for Guys Set to Launch Austin City Guide

PRLog (Press Release) - Nov 18, 2009 -
Already nearing 1.3 million subscribers among its Seattle, DC, Dallas, Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Miami, New York, Philadelphia, San Francisco, and best-of the web "Nation" editions, leading men’s email lifestyle guide, Thrillist, is preparing to kick off its Austin coverage with Harlem®, by Nolet Spirits U.S.A. (the new shot drink imported from Holland) as its launch partner. Edited by veteran writer, Dan Gentile, this free subscription email will arm Austin’s work-hard-play-hard guys with targeted editorial recommendations that sift through the crap to find the best in food, drinks, services, gadgets, gear, sports, and travel in their local market. Thrillist's commitment to cover all that’s new, unknown, or inexcusably under-appreciated has made it a daily must-read for any self-respecting male.

“It’s no secret that Austin’s a booming, creative town, but for as much culture and music coverage as there is, it’s outrageous that Austin’s guys have nothing they can trust when it comes to their day-to-day lives.  So we’re psyched to launch Thrillist Austin, solve that problem, and add another super-exciting market to our network.”  Thrillist co-Founders Ben Lerer and Adam Rich said.

About Dan Gentile: Dan Gentile, also known as Sweet DJ G and "the Vince Young of Radio," took to spinning records as a way to avoid questions about his Biblically pronounced Italian last name and incongruously Semitic good looks. After attending the University of Texas and ignoring countless “Thriller” requests at college parties and dance clubs, Dan began writing for Austin area magazines and working in publishing. Highlights include giving a lazy-man’s critique of every gym in town, interviewing taqueria kingpins, slipping David Foster Wallace quotes into textbooks at an educational publisher, and proofreading just shy of a billion pieces of legislation (1% of which were passed). When he isn’t busy writing literary critiques of N.W.A. songs and combing the street for the newest food-trucks you can hear him unironically playing disco remixes of Fleetwood Mac at events around Austin.
