I have been friends with Giaco since my senior and his junior year of college when we were made co-editors of a school-based publication that never materialized due to lack of interest (in both contributors and readership). It was then we realized that we had more in common than is normally required for friendship. We were both ambitious (but not within the limits of our college major), children of chefs, frustrated, excitable, and dare I say, talented? And despite how much in common he has with me, Giaco is also a kind, warm, friendly fellow. I don’t know if I can think of a happier or more welcoming person. I could not be more pleased to have him as a co-conspirator on the new show: Second Stories.
I haven’t known Kati as well or as for as long, but I am equally confident in her excellence. The first time I met her was at the second reading, wherein she crowned Blaise himself, no questions asked. Since then, she has come to shows, made some great jokes (complete with Hall and Oates references), come with us to see Morrissey, and made the poster for the new show.
Did I mention that these guys own the world’s most handsome dog?
It is a privilege to have such talented, wonderful people as friends. Especially when they occasionally need a dogsitter.
