I met some friends at the Arlington Drafthouse last week to see Forgetting Sarah Marshall, a movie that pretty much demanded to be seen in the company of a few pitchers of beer. On the way in I noticed a few posters for upcoming comedy shows, including one shilling for “Daily Show Co-Creator Lizz Winstead” on Aug 8 & 9. Sounds good – I’ve seen her on tv and found her amusing.

I’m a little less enthused after seeing her delightful performance in the above video. I suppose she doesn’t think of people coming to see her here in our neck of the woods as “losers,” as she calls the people who were coming to the show she’s talking about in the video. Let’s hope that – if she doesn’t cancel on them – the AD management sees the above video and makes sure not to serve her any booze before the show…

Well I used to say something in my profile about not quite being a “tinker, tailor, soldier, or spy” but Tom stole that for our about us page, so I guess I’ll have to find another way to express that I am a man of many interests.

Hmm, guess I just did.

My tastes run the gamut from sophomoric to Shakespeare and in my “professional” life I’ve sold things, served beer, written software, and carried heavy objects… sometimes at the same place. It’s that range of loves and activities that makes it so easy for me to love DC – we’ve got it all.
