Question 3: Cake or Pie? and which kind specifically. The question that people talk about at the water cooler when they sit and wax eloquent about this blog (I think I have 12 readers, and I don’t think they know each other). Here is the question that everyone waits for. I have heard that many a folk who have lived in the Bay Area find themselves unable to truly transplant themselves to another “home.” That place really gets into people’s psyche. That’s one of the reasons I’m so grateful to have SF Sketchfest. SF swept me off my feet and planted a french kiss on me from the get-go. I fell in love with LA in a totally different way, but it took time. I have never wanted to move anywhere the way I wanted to move to San Francisco. There’s no way to avoid the annoying overuse of “leaving your heart in San Francisco,” but… people like me, who were intensely drawn to live there… it just stays with you. Question 2: Is LA truly your home now, or is there still some piece of you holding onto San Francisco or Arizona as “home?”Įven though I’ve been in Los Angeles for years, part of me definitely still thinks of San Francisco as home. Then I migrated to San Francisco for a blissful 9 years, then down to LA, where I’ve been ever since!įor some reason I thought your story would be more bi-coastal instead of “Old West” to “West Coast,” but I am not sure where that notion is from. I left Tucson after graduating from high school and moved to Flagstaff, AZ, where I lived/went to school for 2.5 years. Question 1: What is your geographic story? For example, I was born outside of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, move to Montgomery, Alabama, pretty much grew up in just to the northeast of Birmingham, Alabama, went to college in Kent, Ohio, followed my Wife down to Columbus, Ohio for my grad school and have been in C-bus ever since. I have my MA in geography focusing on mapping and spatial distributions(… jealous?) so I love hearing people’s geographic stories. So, enough of my doing the equivalent of flapping my yapper. I became aware of the lovely Ms Varney’s comedic talents from here visits to Jimmy Pardo’s Never not Funny. Did I mention as well that she is the host of a podcast? Well, she is the host of her very own podcast called The JV Club, in which she interviews/has conversations with other creative celebrity womens. In the comedy circles she is also well-known as the co-creator of the insanely popular and distressingly talent-filled SF Sketchfest which happens every January for over a decade. She is also probably more well known for her stint on tbs’s Dinner and a Movie with previous 20 Questionee, Paul Gilmartin. Janet is currently the voice of the title character in the animated super-hit The Legend of Korra on Nickelodeon. Varney is a wildly talented comedic… um… talent. I am honestly surprised she has the time to be able to do this, because she is a crazy busy lady and has had no, that’s right, no previous interaction with me. So, I have the rare honor of asking the amazingly talented Janet Varney 20 Questions for this edition of 20 Questions Tuesday.
