Richard Jeni
March 11th, 2007 | by scott |A few years back, Holly and I attended an event sponsored by Intel, in Atlanta. We were guests of my boss at the time, Bliz, and the event was for OEM chip users.
The night was dinner and drinks and entertainment, provided by none other than Richard Jeni, who was already a well known performer. He was freaking funny and very accessible, and it was really amazing to sit around having a few drinks while listening to this genuinely funny guy rant and rave and hold court over a willing audience.
Every time I’ve seen him since then, i always think back to that night and how neat it was that he played such a small venue and really enjoyed it and seemed actually happy to be there. Very cool.
Richard Jeni died of a suicide yesterday, the 10th of March, 2007. RIP.
