How to be a Jazzbot
‘The Coveted Official Jazzbots Blogger Hat’
What is a Jazzbot? It’s the second most popular question I’m asked after, what’s this blog thing you’re doing? Being a Jazzbots blogger has meant a chance to write about the Jazz from my perspective. I’m not a journalist, and while I appreciate the job that sportswriters do, I frequently might have a different view, or I might be interested in a completely different aspect of the story. I’m a huge Jazz fan, and I love the chance to get to talk about the team and things related to the team from my unique angle.
I’ve had the opportunity to meet some very interesting people, and see some things that other fans might not get the chance to see, as a blogger for the Jazz. This of course was a huge incentive for me to “try-out.” These are great perks, but being able to have a voice and write about something I love to talk about is the best reward. Getting feedback from complete strangers can also be considered a perk (at times). The opportunities for all fans to join the discussion is an amazing thing, because even if I don’t agree with what’s being written in the comments, I’m usually led to another topic to write about when I read those comments. I love that interaction, and it’s really not as scary as I thought it would be when I considered answering the call for Jazzbots.
If you’re considering joining the ranks now is the time. The search is on. You can also write a comment, or send an email to annie.whittaker@jazzbots.com. I would be happy to share my insights with you.
P.S. I almost forgot, when you’re a Jazzbot, you have to beat the throngs of adoring fans away with a club.

Annie,
Where do I get one of those hats??? I like reading your stuff.
James,
I’m going to beat Annie to your question. Jazzbots bloggers enjoy several perks throughout the year. Official Jazzbots gear is one. Hats and polo shirts with the Jazz logo and ‘Official Blogger’ are great when you need to make a ‘Big’ first impression.
After we complete this year’s draft of bloggers we’ll be sending out the goods.

Thanks Derrick, and thank you James for your kind words.
When will there be a chance again? I was on vacation and couldn’t apply
Ben, I’ve received the okay to grant you an extension until Friday (that’s tomorrow). Actually, everyone gets the extension until Friday, and I don’t really have any powers of granting anything, I’m just spreading the news from the top. SO HURRY-but make it good
Is there anyway to know if a submission has been received? I didn’t get a confirmation e-mail or anything and I’m a little paranoid that nobody got it.
Thanks!
Kraig,
We did get your submission and we’re taking a hard look at it.
Thanks and Good Luck!
Derrick
Did my letter get through?
Ben,
Yes - thanks. And to others who may be wondering we had an issue with our auto response confirmation. If you emailed us, we got it.
Jazz fans are great with the pen. Lot’s of talent.
Derrick
