Eugene to his friends...

For any of you that have yet seen or heard of this strange, new comic force, I give you the home page of Eugene Mirman. He is currently on "THE COMEDY MEN FROM TOMORROW TOUR" W/ Michael Showalter (Stella, Wet Hot American Summer, The State)
and Leo Allen (Conan O'Brien, Comedy Central Presents, former SNL writer)

Local shows include:
Sat-Jul 22 Seattle, WA Sonic Boom Records in Ballard (5pm)
Sat-Jul-22 Seattle, WA Chop Suey www.chopsuey.com (9pm)

I find him absolutely charming and original (hence the gratuitous promo) and am looking forward to meeting him on Saturday as potentially introduced by a dear friend.

I searched and searched the pages and eventually found a reference to myself from my old pal Clark Humphrey of www.miscmedia.com thanking me for helping him with some installation work circa 2001. In the meantime, there were just hundreds and hundreds of posts and listings about people more prominent than me with my name, and even same geographic location. Being a Jennifer born in the 70's, I've met probably hundreds of other Jennifers at parties, school functions, and we are always having to clarify, "no call me Jen" or "Hi, I'm Jen M., to differentiate yourself from other "Jens" in the office, school or whatever. For a while I thought of changing my name to something more "exotic" or going by my middle name. But I realized not only do I think Jennifer is a beautiful name, derived ...
