The exhibition runs until February 15, 2009. Dunlavey co-wrote a series of comics with another friend of Pete’s, Fred Van Lente […]

We had a terrific evening of song and humor. Jennifer is an ebullient, effervescent hostess, full of spunk and bubbly humor. […]
Oh man, I had such fun at the Algonquin Salon on the 11th. The theme was “Drop that Name,” meaning any song that had someone’s name in the title, or mentioned. I chose a character that sometimes has a name (“Nimue”) but often does not (“The Lady of the Lake”) and sang the song “Diva’s Lament (Whatever Happened to My […]
