Born in 1982 to a tribe of roving cotton candy distributors, Joey Rubin was mistakenly abandoned on a small island off the west coast of Chile. Reportedly, the early years of his life were spent strapped to the back of camel, a small donkey named Robuck and a miniature train engine. His memory, however, began to function sometime in 1986 when he came-to inside a brown condominium on the north side of southern Orange County, California. From that point on, his life has been quiet, suburban and predictable: He was raised by a pack of neurotic, Jewish obsessives and was apprenticed in the art of kvetching, kvelling and kibitzing. Recently, he's migrated back to his ancestral homeland: New York.
