Happy 50th Birthday Jim Carrey! I remember when...

I saw on the news this morning that today is Jim Carrey's birthday. He's 50 today. This is the perfect time to reflect back on my first memory Jim Carrey when I saw him as a child. My deceased Uncle Ron was a manager of bands, owner of a restaurant and much more in his long successful career. He had a restaurant in the70's called Cafe on the Park on Eglington Avenue West close to Yonge street. He used to book entertainment there as well. This is were my stories comes in. Jim Carrey performed to a small house of people in that restaurant back then. I barely remember the show as I was very young. For some reason I hung onto a little piece of paper he signed for me that day. Little did we know then that he was to become the huge success he is today. I've always enjoyed his art of comedy. He's accomplished so much and has a great talent. I feel very luck to have been able to see him do stand-up to an audience that was most likely around 100 people. I was hooked from then and have been following his career since. Happy Birthday Jim Carrey!
