Cory VaillancourtCory Vaillancourt

Originally from Chicago, Cory Vaillancourt comes to the Erie Reader after spending the previous 12 years cranking out mind-numbing press releases on 10-minutes' notice. His interests include: bacon, booze, puppy-dogs, glowing rectangles, unicorns, football, ice cream cones, bacon, Pastafarianism, glitter, recreational amateur fracking, and music. His dislikes include: music, confined spaces, anything with curry or mayonnaise on it, and that guy from the Sham-Wow commercials. When not writing for the Erie Reader, Cory can usually be found.

Vaillancourt lives in a heavily-fortified compound somewhere near the North Coast of the United States, although you can follow him on Twitter @VLNCRT or email him at cVaillancourt@ErieReader.com

We need your help today.

You can't put a price on critical local journalism, that's why the Reader has always been free. Over the past ten years we've been able to grow into Erie's only local source for news, arts, and culture, and the role we play in the community has never been more important as it is today. The need for quality local coverage is greater than ever before, and we're asking for your help.

The Erie Reader is completely free to access online and read in print. Will you consider a voluntary donation to help sustain our operation and continue providing free access to great local journalism to everyone?

Thank you for your support!
