Last year I bought a bunch of copies of
Zinester’s Guide to NYC written by Ayun Halliday and gave them out as holiday
gifts. I knew Ayun was a clever and intriguing person and then I read some of
her stuff and holy cow she is hilarious too! I suggest a Google search. You
will then find out she is married to Greg Kotis, the playwright and when she had
her first baby she gave up acting but replaced that with writing and publishing
a wonderfully hand written and illustrated zine called East Village Inky. You
can and should get a subscription, as soon as I’m done writing this I’m
going to get a subscription myself. Anyway, there is much interesting info
about how they met while in a theater troupe together and they lived in a tiny apartment
in the east village while waiting for things to happen. Then Greg wrote the
musical Urinetown and it went all the way to Broadway! I’m sure a bunch of other stuff happened and at some point
they moved to Brooklyn.
A few years ago I met Ayun on a street
corner in our Brooklyn Village and today, on Christmas Eve I went to her place
and met he rest of the family properly. I’m glad I did, please meet family #49,
Ayun Halliday, Greg, Milo and India Kotis.
