A recently recieved email.....

I remember the first time I saw your show, which was pretty much just you sitting on a couch talking to the camera, a couple of clips thrown in there, some interviews, and a little bit of everything else. Fast forward 5-6 years, and you're having lunch with Kenny Hotz. Man, I'm green with envy. I'm a big fan of Kenny Vs. Spenny, it's probably the best scripted show about human nature, it just has great insight. Anyway, I only got a chance to read your blog after you had come to Ryerson to speak, so I was pretty bummed that I missed that. And I also didn't get a chance to come sit in the audience back in February.

Anyway, I'm writing this for two reasons I guess. First being congrats on doing what you're doing. When 'In the Can' came out, I was a bit skeptical, but I have to say Teen Wolf 3 was one of the best half hours of TV I've seen in a long time. I've seen it maybe 2-3 or times already, but it always makes me laugh, hopefully Season 2 brings the same energy. . Also congrats on the bereal series...I don't get the channel, but I've been watching the previews, and it seems like a really fun show, especially for you to get to travel so much and just be part of show, instead of having to carry it on your shoulders. And finally, congrats on the crappy canadian late night talk show. It comes on at 12:30 around here (do you still pay for the airtime, by the way? I sure fucking hope not, after all this time) but I wish it were on a half hour earlier...I think it makes a big difference, but I guess it's better than the 1 AM and 1:30 AM slots you used to get huh, haha.

Secondly, I'm writing this just to see what's on your horizon. I don't know what your schedule is like or if everything is really spontaneous, but is there a chance you could be needing studio audience members in the near future? Also, are you making any other appearances in Toronto or Hamilton or anywhere really?

I'm moving away to Ottawa in the fall, so these last few months will be my last chance to get to meet you in person, as I'll be in Toronto maybe a week or two each year for the next 4-5 years.

So any radio appearances? or segments being shot or audiences required, or anything at all man? I've always regretted not meeting you. I figure I'm always walking around downtown Toronto, you figure I'd bump into you by now, but I guess you're only in Toronto every so often, and I'm hardly ever in the Hamilton/Burlington area. Anyway, keep me up to date, I'd really appreciate, it'd be awesome just to shake your hand, get an autograph and say what's up.

It's like 1 AM and I just got back from work, and I dug out these photos I had from about 4 years ago, back in highschool I would print up and post JR Digs posters on the back of washroom stalls and pretty much anywhere and everywhere else I could. I took some pictures of them, but I didn't have a scanner at the time so I never got a chance to send 'em to you. I'm finally sending it to you about 4+ years later haha (check the jpeg out). I remember I'd go into the computer lab and set all the homepages to jrdigs.com...anything for a viewer eh.



Anyway, I read about your finger, that sucks, hope you feel better soon and things keep pushing along. I'm guessing this spring will be really busy for you so best of luck with the show(s) and hopefully I'll run into you sometime.
