My birthday with Dave Coulier

Friday, April 25th, 2008

For my 25th birthday, my good pals Julia and Cole and my adoring husband took me to Stanford & Son’s Comedy Club.  Dave Coulier (of Full House fame) was the headliner - and apparently, so was everyone else there - They have some sort of Kindergaten logic that they like to apply to the line-up, […]
