Connecticut had a pretty unusual year, weather-wise. There were snow storms, an earthquake, and even a hurricane on August 24, 2011. How do I remember the date so readily? Because that was the date I was supposed to appear at ComiConn, the state’s premiere celebration of all things cool. Happily, thankfully, and kindly, co-organizer Mitchell

Last year I was flattered to be a guest on the popular Comedy Film Nerds podcast #70.
