Assignment: Special Halloween Birthday Edition
posted by on November 1 at 14:22 PM
Chris Comte, manager of the Annex Theatre and regular Slog commenter, wanted to celebrate his birthday but was too busy to go out and buy a cake for himself. I picked up a german chocolate cake for Chris at QFC and met him at Smith. I walked in at 8:30 to meet him but, unfortunately, I had no idea what Chris looked like. After pacing back and forth and sitting on the bench at the front of the restaurant, I noticed a few people waving to me.
Chris didn’t have a costume so I asked him if he wanted to wear my sparkling penis glasses. Then I fed him cake.

Public Intern
Do you need a cake today? Send requests to publicintern@thestranger.com.
Sparkling penis glasses? Where can I get those? :D
Cool! Public intern solves everyone's problems. Can you guys extend his internship indefinitely? Or is that considered slavery?
now this is some public service!!! excellent.
@1:
According to Steven, he got them at the S.F. Pride Parade.
(BTW Steven, the ladies, including apparently our server, thought you were HOTTT!)
Oh, and just to correct a small point-of-information, I'm the Facilities Manager of Annex. We have a very capable Managing Director, Stephen McCandless, who deserves all credit for keeping our little fringe theatre financially solvent.
THE CAKE IS A LIE
What's more: There is no spoon.
Or fork.
Thanks Comte. :D
Now, to get myself to SFPride... road trip?
(And who wouldn't think Steven hot?)
Awww, that is one heart-warming story. I love Comte, and public intern... MAYBE you're okay after all.
Happy Birthday, Comte!
Happy birthday. I was at the table to your right (not the dork in the cowboy costume). The public intern is really gay and thin.
And I love you too Amelia, in a non-skeezy, completely platonic, particularly-since-you're-young-enough-to-be-my-own-child way, of course.

ewwww, of course.
sentimental tool. gross, ick. someone get that gooey sentiment off me. it burns, it burns!!!
Um... jealous! How come we all don't get impromptu cake deliveries? Or invitations to COMTE's impromptu cake deliveries?
Nice glasses.
Steven was really wonderful. The Stranger is lucky to have him!
Great story! BUT!!!!!
Our secret identities are at risk!!! We know who Comte is now!!!! BLAH BLAH!! I have to put a bag over my head!!!
@11 What's wrong with gay and thin? The Intern is so cute!
Gay and think is HOTT!
My birthday is in a couple weeks (the 16th, yo), but I'm way out in MI. Perhaps the Stranger will buy you a plane ticket?
Well, first thing you have to do @14 - is ask.
At the end of every "Public Intern" Slog post, the email address is listed. I just happened to see it on the previous "PI" post, and sent an email asking him to bring me a day-early birthday cake. Within a couple of hours, I had an email from Steven asking, "when and where?" That was about all it took.
Now, I'm fairly certain he doesn't accept every single request that comes in, but you'll never know until you try.
@16:
I've never been reticent about divulging my true identity on the Interwebbies - not since I ran on BBS's and Usenet back in the early 90's.
@16
Haha, BBS... I ran one in the early-mid 90's, was sad to see the interwebs come and take away the fun of fidonet.
Hmm, wonder if I should ask the intern to help me find a lawyer...
Oh, yeah, happy belated bday.
Hey! I can not see what I am typing with this bag on my head but at least you will never know who I am ! HA HA HA HA !!!! Time to watch Family Guy on DVD
Who could not love this cute boy?! And now we learn he's gay, too?!
My gratitude to the Stranger Staffer who hired him, and appreciation to Mr Blum for his light-hearted Slog posts.
Well, now we know why he didn't get his freak on with the bride at that wedding.
