Becca Greene is Popular
Hi.
If you know THE ROYAL WE, then you know one solid truth; Pint-sized powerhouse Becca Greene is a popular person. There is no denying this fact. Am I jealous? Damn right!
"How popular is Becca?"
Well, I'll tell ya.
Becca took part in a Gawker Walker tour for media giant Gawker.com. Her and her compatriots, David Wain and Ken Marino (from MTV's The State), and gawkers own Andy Krucoff went on the Midnight Munchies tour with Famous Fat Dave.
What am I talking about? Read the story here.
And if you can't read, then just look at the pictures!
I'll put the first few paragraphs below:
"Famous Fat Dave is a cabbie. He’s also a gourmand, and he’s also a bit of self-promoter (we say that admiringly), and so we found in our inbox a few weeks ago a press release from Mr. Fat Dave pushing his “Five Borough Eating Tour on the Wheels of Steel.” There was no question we were interested, and there was no question who’d go a-touring; this was the perfect assignment for Gawker mascot (and glutton for all things) Andrew Krucoff. After the jump, Kruc, avec photog, hails Fat Dave’s cab, picks up his roommate and a pair of comedians to help punch up his material, and heads out for a night of taxiing and eating, taxiing and eating.
While the Frank Bruni chose to rampage the country in search of chili slaw dogs and chocolate-covered cheeseburgers, I opted for Famous Fat Dave’s Five Borough Eating Taxi Tour to conduct my million-calorie march. For the uninitiated, Famous Fat Dave is a self-described “pickle man/ cheesemonger/hot-dog vendor/food writer/cabbie who has eaten it all.” Driving the cab since 2001, he soon started using his yellow chariot to offer informal, unmetered, scale-tipping culinary tours of fair city.
Sensing this was not a solo mission, I enlisted comedian David Wain (Stella, Wet Hot American Summer, The State) and my wee roommate Becca Greene, of The Royal We. The last minute addition of actor/writer Ken Marino, another alum of The State and partner with David on The Ten movie, made sure we were cramped — and illegal — with a total of five passengers in the taxi."

I'm so jealous.
