Cnet laid off 10% of its domestic workforce, including myself, which means I'm re-discovering the joys of BitTorrent and matinees. Fortunately, the lay-offs were perfectly timed as I was in the process of searching for a new apartment. Instead of an apartment in SF, I'll be heading back to LA where I'll stay until I'm lured back to the Bay Area. With a little extra free time on my hands, I might just have to start blogging more.
I head down to LA tomorrow to tour my new digs and during the week I'll be meeting with folks to, you know, get more gigs.
I am now off to host a benefit for the USF Women's Volleyball team at The Purple Onion.
About Me
- Laura Swisher
- I'm a self-absorbed artist type who just re-relocated from Los Angeles to San Francisco to Los Angeles. In LA self-absorbed artist types have head shots. In San Francisco they have single gear bicycles, which are much more difficult to hand out. I hosted some shows for TV and TV.com, and I do stand-up.

Oh, no! I watched you on TV.com's TurboVision literally every day! Well, good luck, Swishy VonSwisherstein, I'm sure you're gonna land on your feet, as they say!

Year of the Rat sister - it is THE year to leave the Bay for LA; then back and maybe to NY. I was laid off for four months this winter - it was four good months of um reinventing myself which means I slept until noon. Alot. Welcome Back!
