Call Your Manager

But in this case, I really was talking to an agent friend of mine. I was telling him about an internet venture that I’m involved with – a new twist on internet-based video – and when I was done sketching out the project and how cool it was going to be, and asking him what he thought of various domain names we’ve come up with, he got very quiet and had a relieved-looking smile on his face...
