Freelance journalist long of Vegas, nowadays mostly shilling the amazing comic-book project Drive-in Kings of 1977
Vinnie Plays Vegas ... for a buck! Thanks to an Amazon Prime Black Friday deal, you can watch The Con Man of Comedy for a buck for the next few days. It's the documentary I co-wrote and consulted on, about a comedian with some, err, creative means of financing his gambling habit.
