So today was the first day of the new Rocketboom featuring Joanne Colan and I have to say…

I really miss Amanda. Joanne did an okay job but I mean, Amanda was Rocketboom.

What did you all think?

Which would you rather have: Amanda Congdon on Rocketboom or Amanda Congdon in the next Tarantino film? Let her try her luck in Hollywood.

I thought that was just a nonsense cover story made up by her partner at Rocketboom. She moved to LA planning to do Rocketboom from there, but he backed out on the deal, and decided to keep all the operations in NY.

I’m not trying to hold her back, by all means hit Hollywood and see how it goes - but I was just talking about… you know… Rocketboom.
