Steffy hits the "covert hospitality" brigade

On Friday, the Chronicle's L.M. Sixel reported on a gathering by Houston movers, shakers, and spin artists (such as Jordy Tollet, Jeff Moseley, and Frank Michel) to discuss how the city can boost itself to journalists in town to cover the Enron trial in January.

Today, Loren Steffy has a little fun with the entire "covert hospitality" notion.

It might also be useful to recall Ken Hoffman's fine advice after some of these same people failed in luring a future Super Bowl to Houston:

If I were an NFL team owner, and the Houston contingent came to my door, I'd put a piece of candy in their bag and send them away.

What if they came to your door and tried to convince you to write nice things about their shoes?

The national media probably won't cave like some writers.
