  1. Hey Becky!

    My name is Brian. I work at Backbone Media and help an organization called American Pistachio Growers with PR. I saw your test kitchen article about nuts in Backpacker (great stuff! pistachios caught my eye…) and wanted to get in touch to introduce myself. I had a hard time finding your email address… so here I am!

    Anyway, I have a ton of pistachio samples and nutrition info. I’d like to send you some and keep in touch with pistachio news and updates. No obligation on your part to write about them… I’m just tasked with spreading the good word about pistachios.

    Would that be alright? My email is Brian.Kinslow@backbonemedia.net.

    Looking forward to getting in touch with you.

    Cheers!

    Brian
