In Today’s Mail — March 22, 2013
In today’s mail is the v. 21, n. 4 (April 2013) issue of Wired featuring Alison Brie who plays Annie Edison on Community and Trudy Campbell on Mad Men (incidentally, we have all but 3 issues of Wired from its inception in 1993). Here we find her very much in the manner of a Madison avenue man, priming you for the premier of season six of the A&E television phenomenon.
