More press... no credit for me and Jose...



But good press nonetheless. At least our greeting card had Kinky's webpage on it. People still ask me who Chris Bell is... and they still won't know come November.

Holiday vacation 2005!



Independence Hall, Philadelphia. Walk the grounds our Founding Fathers walked.


Ye olde Liberty Bell.


This guy ain't going anywhere!


Yeah, that's right. 2nd row center. Band comp. Closing night of the tour.


Dinosaurs at the Science Museum! Oh, and Angie!


I look a little scared of that Deinonychus skeleton.

Macy's parade balloons were being inflated right outside the museum!


Suuuuuper Grover!


And I came home to find recent eBay purchases of classic Sesame Street records. Awesome!

I hate you, Pennsylvania Turnpike.

Speaking of, I just turned in the rough draft of KinkyToon 2. Almost there!

More good press! Now if only the Austin Chronicle would wake up and do a story on us...

60,000 people have watched the 'kinkytoon.' We made the news in the Austin American Statesman, the San Antonio Express News, and the Dallas Morning News.

The internet seems to be going nuts over it too. Do a search for 'kinky friedman' or 'kinkytoon' at technorati.com and see what the bloggers think about it. One political blog said it was the 'damndest political ad they had ever seen."

Sonnet XVII - Pablo Neruda

No te amo como si fueras rosa de sal, topacio
o flecha de claveles que propagan el fuego:
te amo como se aman ciertas cosas oscuras,
secretamente, entre la sombra y el alma.

Te amo como la planta que no florece y lleva
dentro de sí, escondida, la luz de aquellas flores,
y gracias a tu amor vive oscuro en mi cuerpo
el apretado aroma que ascendió de la tierra.

Te amo sin saber cómo, ni cuándo, ni de dónde,
te amo directamente sin problemas ni orgullo:
así te amo porque no sé amar de otra manera,

sino así de este modo en que no soy ni eres,
tan cerca que tu mano sobre mi pecho es mía,
tan cerca que se cierran tus ojos con mi sueño.

The moment you've all been waiting for...

... will be delayed.

The Kinky Friedman campaign is delaying the release of our first cartoon "I Looooove Texas" for one to two weeks, probably to better grab the spotlight after Katrina & Judge Roberts' nomination. So be patient. It'll come soon...

The Onion seems to have coincidentally come up with the plot of our short film. Bloody hell!

Well, it's over. The Pallisades' Muppets action figure line has ended. You know, I'm no completist, but I did get the core 38 I felt were necessary to fulfill my childhood desire to have Muppet action figures.
