Welcome, Jamie Frevele

Attention! Please welcome our new editor, Jamie Frevele, who will be focusing on movies, TV, and other amusements and entertainments.

Jamie Frevele writes and and performs comedy in New York City and was an editor at The Mary Sue until we stole her. She's also written for The Huffington Post, Mediabistro, and Newsday, and hopes to live "in a world in which internet writers get to do voiceovers for cartoons."

Jamie says she reads Entertainment Weekly for the articles and doesn't like the beach, because there is not enough shade for her tattoos and German pallor. And now, dear readers, you will read her.

  Wooo! Congrats, Jamie!

• [atteSmythe]

  Welcome! The Independence Day post sure grabbed my attention — looking forward to more!

• [Geek Girl Diva]

  Yay Jamie!

• [Jen]

  Jamie = amazeballs.

• [Lauren Seals]

  Congrats!! Sad about your departure from TMS but I can’t wait to see your style here!

• [John Farrier]

  Excellent. She’s done good work at The Mary Sue.

• [Gutierrez]

  First salvos have been pretty good.  Look forward to seeing more of your articles.  Welcome!

• [Rich Keller]

  How did they steal Jamie? I imagine the other Boingers dressed up like the Beagle Boys and sneaking her out of The Mary Sue in a huge burlap sack with a Disqus logo printed on the side.

    We are trying to figure out which number to assign to Jamie. Already taken: 176-070, 176-079, 176-080, 176-117, 176-167, 176-176, 176-300, 176-321, 176-330, 176-617, 176-671, 176-716, 176-760, 176-761, 176-830, 176-840, 176-860.

      Since 176-860 might send the wrong message, I vote for 176-080.  Besides, the phrase, “Oh, ate, oh!” is pregnant with possibility.

• [Bill H.]

  I cannot measure nor describe how delightful this news is.

• [David Pescovitz]

  I’m so thrilled to publicly welcome Jamie to the asylum. 

  “We’re all mad here,” said the Cat. “I’m mad. You’re mad.”
  “How do you know I’m mad?” said Alice.
  “You must be,” said the Cat, “otherwise you wouldn’t have come here.”

  Personally, I don’t like the beach due to huge, terrifying Herring Gulls, bitter cold, and enormous, freezing waves which try to carry you off to the north sea, where you will die in short order; but I think we’ve been to different beaches – Germanic pallor is not a problem here.
  Anyone sharing that dislike, for whatever reason, is alright by me though. Welcome Enemy of My Enemy ;)

  • [taghag]

     enemies of the beach, untie!

• [OCNCTY]

  Great, now I will be reading Boing Boing 20 times per day as opposed to my usual 10.  I’m in love with every word so far. Wonderful. Thanks.

• [dejoh]

  How about some color to go with that nice mug shot.

• [Jon Ptolemy]

  I want one.

• [Senor Schaffer]

  Great. A n00b.

  I kid. I kid.

• [FreakCitySF]

  I got 99 problems but a beach ain’t one.  I’m not a fan of beaches either, german also.   Where were you in 1996-1998?

  • [NoneofYourPenguins]

    Luftballoons can be really annoying.  And they really have no place at the beach–let alone a German one.  Think of the tortoises and other marine critters!

  I may have a cartoon voiceover job for you, if you’re not being flippant about that.
