My wife surprise me by telling me the day before that she was coming. I had a huge, packed room for my panel eager to discuss feminism. That surprised me in a really good way. There's no media up from the discussion yet but in the meantime, here's some delightful post-panel video of my interview with the Austin Chronicle. Who also kindly said about me: "deeper than Oprah...and a set of wits equal to any major player on Comedy Central" ?I have top commercial agents at Paradigm in NY now representing me. This was a great opportunity that came my way because someone looked out for me. Someone like you. He happened to be a casting director, and made a call and now I'm enjoying some very entertaining moments. If you had told me in college that I'd be attired in business casual, watching my personal handheld computer, on the Long Island Rail Road heading into NYC to audition to be the voice of Weight Watchers...I would not have believed you. ?my first Web 2.0 keynote: Authenticity is the new Authority which you can watch on the new heathergold.com.

Heather Live May 17, 8pm - NY Dot Dot Dot Lectures: The Improvisers White Rabbit 145 Houston Street Free and open to the public. Sells out.

Vacation with my mother (1 min) (headlining Progressive Jewish Alliance) thanks to Zach Strassberger for spontaneous recording How to Get A Lesbian Pregnant I opted to do my first PowerPoint presentation ever* for Ignite last month on How to Get A Lesbian Pregnant. Just for the National Geographic-ness of it. And, well, because it's on my mind. As those of you who follow me on twitter or read Gawker religiously know, we are in the pre-process of seeing if I can get pregnant. It is a long and involved process. I realized that Bristol Palin wishes she were me, right about now and thus, my PowerPoint inspiration. I'll let you all know when the live footage is up, but in the meantime, here is a little advance subverter exclusive of an early draft. *excepting, of course, my parody PowerPoint for Peace w/ Amy Tobin Don't forget the survey. .................................................................................................................................
