Morning', turning this into an autbiography just to annoy some and inform others because I probably won't have the interest or the opportunity to say this twice. So here goes... For those who don't know me, which is a good 60% of you crazies... Here's the Cliff notes version (and I really could give a **** who embelishes it).
PB ENT. is Pati B, and yes, as one pathetic pest repeats at every opportunity my name is mentioned, that IS what most people, actors, theater friends, personal friends, call me... deal with it. I run a small company that produces events, work with fundraisers, books talent both Broadway and regionally.
I wrote reviews/interviews for Talkin'Broadway, a site I still visit and post. When I became an agent, this was a policy conflict for TB and I willingly agreed to move on. Rob Diamond
and I sorta found each other and we struck an agreement based on openness and a trust factor about my writing for BWW without overly exploiting my personal clients. So far it's working!
It's obvious (HA!) that I hold no degree in journalism and sometimes even my editor :coughrob: misses my boo-boos. I'm just a theater seat warmer who enjoys writing/interviewing/working with creative people onstage and off. My column here is called "Pati's Place...Philly and more! and I let people know what's up in me neck of the woods. I do it for the fun and to promote people who are half killing themsevles working in this "glamourous" business. It serves me well, as well.
I have had my share of laughs and run ins here at the Drama Club, and paid the price, wised up and lay low. Now, I stick to theater related topics and keep my reputation where I need it to remain. Those who cross the line with me here are dealt with. Reminder: I and my atty. live 20 mins. from Camden, NJ, the country's #1 most dangerous city, where people become fish food in the Delaware river and/or the Camden Aquariam which is a major food supply to most of S. Joi-sey.
It's obvious, I was brought into this "celebrity queen for a day" just to twist a few knickers. Hey, if it worked for y'all ...whatever.
I gotta admit this is a collection of the good, the bad and the ugly. Also the funny, the sick, the wanna bees, the groupies and the cockroaches. A sock puppet will rear up every now and then to seperate you all into categories ...or I hear a family tree (?). Whatever!
I only know the oldies but "goodie/crusties" of this place. Quickly browsing those who have already been mentioned in this "celebrity" party, some who I would deem worthy as a famous/infamous "character" have already been mentioned.
With that in mind...I have a tough choice. I would love to pass along this "jester crown" to a few whom I know would bring the "hits" volume and hysteria to a new sinking level of debauchery....Mary Ethel or VoiceAnth (I have a weakness for hairy, bald men)...but I will relinquish the day( thank god) to a "gentleman" that I have met poi-sonially and who's secrets are in my vault ....The righteous, irreverent, rigorous, rascal...RIGHT SAID RICK!
Sammy, I will unblock you... and you may join me for a Chevis Regal in Philly one day...but no more "foul balls".
Love, (HA!)
