Eric Kingrea's Jewish Mama Makes a Plea to Baratunde Thurston

Friday night, January 4, 2008, at Fairhope's Eastern Shore Art Center...Debbie Kingrea, who asked me to tag her as "Eric Kingrea's Jewish Mama", wants Baratunde Thurston to hear her plea for her son Eric to become an intern for THE ONION!

Baratunde, I can tell you that Eric is one heck of a writer! I heard him just a few years ago, at age 17, reading one of his stories (in print...MacAdam/Cage BLUE MOON CAFE) and Eric is great!

He's a bouncer at the Trash Bar in Williamsburg/Brooklyn, New York. He's also an actor, he reviews theatre...and he already interviewed to be an intern for The Onion. Y'all, please see this young man!

Here's Eric's Mama in a shameless promotion for her son...and she knows Eric is going to be mortified to learn that his Mama is appearing in a blog as well as on Facebook!
