The Inaugural
Timothy Comeau Award

The Timothy Comeau Award has been created to recognize individuals who have shown exceptional support, interest and love for the company. Recipients of the Timothy Comeau Award will have been both audience and participant in many of our activities and have also offered insights, analysis and criticism. These are people without whom our events would feel incomplete. The 2008 winner of the inaugural Timothy Comeau Award is…. Timothy Comeau.

Timothy Comeau is one of these so called cultural workers who uses Emacs to organize his day-job work as a file clerk in a government ministry. He has a couple of blogs, one of which is somewhat well known (Goodreads.ca) and the other of which is mainly a public archive of previously posted/published material (timothycomeau.com/blog). He just downloaded a box set of Dvorak symphonies from the iTunes store, along with Shostakovich’s 8th Symphony. Timothy has been a constant supporter of the company, writing about our work, showing up, goofing around and generating the kind of vibe that is essential to us. A Mammalian event without Timothy is a Mammalian event that’s happening on another continent.

The winner of the Timothy Comeau Award – in this case, Timothy himself – receives a life-long pass to all Mammalian presentations as well as a home-cooked dinner prepared by producer Natalie De Vito and artistic director Darren O’Donnell with preliminary snacks provided by promotions assistant Eva Verity and dessert by development assistant Sarah Milanes.

Subsequent Timothy Comeau Awards will be announced on January 31, Timothy’s birthday. Long live Timothy Comeau.
