Started Me Thinking

Okay, the "Last Comic Standing" thing got me to thinking that I really miss my comedy friends. So I wrote to my favorite producer, the lovely Joe Jarret to say hi and catch up. His daughter is graduating high school next week. I can't believe it. When I first met her she was a lovely pre-teen girl holding a tiny puppy. Her parents wouldn't let her watch the comics (due to material) but they always let her come down and see me before the show. Now she's a beautiful seventeen year old. Her parents did an awesome job raising her and congrats to Alyce on her graduation.

So Joe invited me to come perform at Funniez again and do some comedy and catch up. I told him I'd love to so he's going to call me when he has some dates available. Then he asked for a new headshot for the publicity materials. Gulp. I hate headshots and the only person who takes a great picture of me is the fabulous photographer Grace, who unfortunately lives in California now. So I took the picture below to have something to send to Joe until I can have Grace take a new set. Is it too cheesy? My family doesn't think so for a comedy headshot (but I'd never put it on the back of my book!)

I was thinking that when I perform at Funniez I would tape the sets and edit them and maybe start booking myself again. I'm working from home so I could go out on the road. (I have a laptop so I could write from wherever.) Just a thought. We'll see what happens.

And yes, I said I took the picture myself. I took it with Photo Booth on my Mac, published it to iPhoto and voila. It's amazing! I wasn't wearing any makeup (thank goodness for black and white photography) and I just took it to see what I could do but it didn't turn out half bad considering it was lit with my desk lamp. Computers are so amazing!
