Ahoy, I'm Peter Tatara. In brief, I'm left-handed, a vegetarian, and my blood type is A. I work for the New York Comic Con and New York Anime Festival and have a cute girlfriend and a Space: Above & Beyond boxset. I'm generally a happy guy.

Pierre Bernard Goes West!
Friend of show Pierre Bernard was a graphic designer (and host of The Recliner of Rage) on Late Night with Conan O’Brien. When Conan moved West, Pierre went, too, and he’s now on staff at The Tonight Show. Pierre’s been blogging about his trek out to LA at pbdotman.blogspot.com, and it’s worth a read. Also, if you didn’t see the June 3rd show, check it out on Hulu.com now…

Beyond Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Bradley Cooper, and Sheryl Crow, it featured Pierre’s first appearance on The Tonight Show.
