Let’s Get Weird!

Virginia Jones is a comedian, writer, and actor- probably in that order.
Another Goal Achieved
Like many sociopaths, I have a Google Alert tied to my name, and so I get little emails when my name comes up on the internet. Now, when your name is Virginia Jones, what you do mostly is: die. That’s mildly creepy, but most of my peers are 95 years old, leaving behind kids, pets, and heartbroken church groups. So, when there’s a post that’s really about me, I get pretty excited, especially when what I get is a nightlife calendar alerting people in the Sequim and Kitsap areas that I will be performing soon: NIGHTLIFE CALENDAR
I’ve made it! Don’t question me!

Dogs Shouldn’t Smoke
I found this gif of a smoking bulldog and I thought it was important enough to put here.

Had the following exchange last night in Seattle:
Guy: so, excuse me but- are you famous?
Me: what? No, I am totally not famous.
Guy: I just feel like I’ve seen you somewhere!
Me:(flattered, a little weirded out) no, I mean, I’m famous in Portland vegan restaurants, gay bars, and karaoke nights, and also at my mom’s house. I’m totally not famous.
Guy: oh! You know who I’m thinking of? That girl on the Daily Show.
Me: (Defeated) Kristen Schaal.
Guy:yeah!
Postscript: After performing in two festivals with her, I finally got some face time with Kristen and explained that for the last two years, every time someone asked me “Do you know who you look like?”, she was the answer to the question. She said “I kind of see it, and the important thing is that we’re both beautiful!” Why, yes, Kristen, what a perfect thing to say.
I should also remark that since the time of writing the original post, I am also famous at Gresham Costco. One cashier knows who I am and always seems excited to ring me up and call her husband afterwards and gush “Comedians eat trail mix, just like we do!”
Tonight! New Wave and Britpop Mash-Up!
Me and spouse are heading to The Woods tonight to play records as our weirdzo 80’s DJ team, New Rotic. We’ve played every venue in this town, from the defunct Blackbird to the deceased Nocturnal to the underground Dunes. Lipgloss & Cigarettes are Portland’s finest retired britpop night, DJ’ed by “Beetlebum” Kell Dockham. There’s no cover and there’s no stopping us, so come by around 9 o’clock!
