One week away!!! And for this installment of Countdown to SFNYC I asked Elizabeth Ellis of MEAT (and co-producer of SFNYC) to interview one of her favoritest sketch women around. She picked the totally amazing, wonder woman of a human being Jordana Barnes of Portland’s The 3rd Floor (playing Friday the 8th). Read as they wax philosophical on women in comedy, childhood fantasies, and talk about their sketch relationships. […]

Happy Memorial Day (yesterday) Everyone!
I was about to start this post something like, “Ah, Fleet Week! The one week out of the year when the city is teeming with sturdy young men dressed to the 9’s in their white. . .” when I realized that those words were not my own, but those of Sarah Jessica Parker from the ONE episode I saw of that ridiculous and atrocious show.

HPV, Human Papillomvirus, causes cervical cancer. That’s a fact. Sure it’s a virus transmitted by sexual contact, but it’s a preventable virus that could kill you if not treated correctly. So the state of Georgia was doing a good deed when attempting to require girls entering sixth grade to vaccinate against it. They got funding ($4.3 million dollars to be exact) and backing from the governor. The plan was to make the vaccine, Gardasil, […]

As cheesy welling strings filled the room, the involuntary muscle that is my heart filled with it. But just as manipulation was about to overtake me, I smiled a secret smile knowing that I had been touched more deeply than even Phil Collins could […]
