Producing, promotions, public relations, stand up comedy and publishing. Comedians Christian Finnegan, Louis CK, Patton Oswalt, Greg Giraldo, Laurie Kilmartin, and so many more.
Not so secret obsession: Forensic science, crimes of passion, serial killers, murder mysteries and mayhem. Life imitates art stuff.
All the time: Live theater, comedy, documentaries, the NAMCO 5-in-1 Plug & Play, and my dog.
Music
Anything and everything else in between. I leave the music selection up to my husband who is savant-like with his music knowledge.
Movies
Was The Price is Right ever a movie? Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Shawshank Redemption, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Braveheart. You know, the standards. Knocked Up has to be on there now. I just fell in love with the entire cast and crew.
Television
Of course, Chappelle's Show & Best Week Ever, or any other show my husband is on. BUT...I really like The Price is Right. Seriously. TiVO it every day and tell me you don't laugh heartily at least once and rewind about three times for a "Holy crap, did you see that?" kind of moment. Autopsy (HBO), First 48, Forensic Files, Dateline and 48 Hours Mystery. Heroes, Dexter, Six Feet Under, Arrested Development, and 24 before the last season turned lame. Also, American Idol. There. I said it. The first step to recovery.
Books
I really enjoyed The Glass Castle, Running with Scissors and Dry. I hope my memoir is 1/2 as good as those. When I was a young girl I devoured Agatha Christie. When I was about 11, I had so many books I turned my portion of our trailer into a library complete with the Dewey Decimal System and late fees.
Heroes
Anyone who would rather die on one's feet than live on one's knees. Seriously. Get up, dust yourself off and get busy living by your rules not someone else's.
About me:
I once lived in a tin shed in Texas with my Deaf parents. Now I'm a writer, producer and publicist in NYC working hard for my money so I don't have to go back. Current cients include my husband comedian Christian Finnegan and the gorgeous new comedy nightclub Comix. I've had the pleasure of producing & promoting shows with Roseanne Barr, Richard Lewis, Robert Wuhl, Craig Ferguson, Caroline Rhea, Alex Borstein, Seth MacFarlane, Janeane Garofalo, Jon Lovitz & too many more great comedians to mention. And, since that isn't enough, I'm writing a book about my wonky childhood and My Jailed Deaf Dad.
Also anyone visiting or living in New York interested in coming out to a party or live theatrical, stand up or sketch comedy event should get to know me. Check out www.ballyhoopromotions.net for a list of events or submit your email to sign up for my weekly newsletter.
I didn't make it to the mega reunion either. I'm sure you'll enjoy your 20 year, I know I did! Take care and I love the profile pic - you look fabulous!
