Lisa Loeb, forever to be known as the bespectacled singer of "Stay" (video!), was first discovered in New York after neighborhood pal Ethan Hawke heard her sing.

Here's the bride pictured with her new husband (Conan O'Brien music coordinator) Roey Hershkovitz, who is ten years younger.

Which is the foundation for Jon Friedman’s Rejection Show, this Wednesday at P.S. 122. The show embraces the rejected material of professional and amateur writers, comedians, cartoonists, artists, and human beings, who display their creative “failures” live on stage.
