Bodega Man,

I’m in Austin, TX for the South by Southwest Film, Music & Interactive Festival! I’m actually the IFC network’s on-camera correspondent for all things information-digital-cloud-space. I’ll be jamming the IFC airwaves with my face starting March 13th (or possibly 14th) and if you’ve got one of those picture boxes, you should set your dvr’s to watch me report on stuff at your very own convenience. Also, I’ve got some standup on Saturday March 13 at 3:30pm and Thursday March 18 at 9:30. These things are all duly listed on the fancy show’s page. I’ll also be hosting a “talk” at the IFC studios on Sunday at 3pm. It will basically be a bunch of comedians talking about how they use Twitter.

If you or someone you love or vaguely know is at SXSW, come by and say hello! In keeping with the fine standards of entertainment journalism, and in preparation for my IFC debut, I’ll be doing shots of BBQ sauce.

Love!

negin

Folks! I’ve been threatening to post my reel online and now that threat is an alarming and totally scary reality. So scary, it will make you hire me next time you need a director/writer/producer, or just director, or just writer, or any combination therein. Ehem, anyways, check it, enjoy it, be duly impressed by it. (Or at least I hope so, its supposed to be my main bragging item.)

Love,
negin
