While watching Comedians of Comedy for the 7th time I got the brilliant idea that I should contact one or two of the comedians and offer to redo their Web sites for free.
I did not follow through on this harebrained scheme.
Point Number One: I do not think these folks are easily contactable, therefore an email I send to their website catch all mail box will probably never be seen by them but by their web master who probably built the site and would not take kindly to some chick wanting to snatch it from them.
That’s really all the points I have to make.
Maria Bamford has a good site already. She doesn’t need a new one.
Zach’s is not so great but if you look at it without viewing the source(yikes) it is fine. As a famous person he doesn’t need to worry about SEO since his name is enough. He is the one I think is the most funny but the least approachable. So naturally I love him. Brian Posehen, has a site that was last updated in 2004. Well, someone stuck a badge for the movie tour on there. But that was a year ago at least. There’s a forum which seems to be used …It’s a bad site, but again he has no need for SEO. Patton has a good site. No need for me there,either. He also has a myspace which he uses.
Then I watched the documentary about the comedy scene in Boston in the 80’s:When Stand Up Stood Out.
So I thought I’d check out Barry Crimmins’ site hoping it was awful.It is not.It is really good.I thought I could at least get his attention by saying
“Hi my name is Sion and your crazy sister Lucia used to scare the fuck out of me in the cult she ran in Dallas in the 80’s.I grew up with your nieces…how are you feeling,do you need a site re design?”
The poor man might feel guilty. Or maybe he wouldn’t.And doesn’t he look great in this picture?
My idea was silly.
