Shameless Self-Promotion

Tis the season for shameless self-promotion, no?

Actually, I'm under deadline to get two texts written and have to process my scouting in Chicago this past weekend, so today's post will be a short pointer to
this interview with yours truly with the immensely talented New York arts write Shane McAdams for the local paper Chelsea Now. Much of it is stuff you've read here before, but some might be new...

Regular posting to resume tomorrow.

Very cool! Hey I also saw your article in the latest CAA newsletter. It was about artist resumes and was taken from a former post of yours. How cool is that?
Have fun in the Windy City. Go heckle those Bad At Sports guys!

Glad you mentioned the sheep's eyes, EW. It adds to your street cred :)

what do you mean "stick with that story"?

That implies it might not be true, which you know it is, because you ate the other half of the eyeball, askim...

Do you mean, am I going to keep repeating that story? Because if that's the question...then the answer is "yes"...it's much better than any other story I have in my repetoire at the moment, until the horse, that is...

I know it seems fairly normal for you, bambino, but for me, I would have guessed "no" if anyone had asked me 5 years ago if I would ever find myself eating sheep eyes, let alone in Kyrgyzstan.

Thanks for all the kind responses to the interview, btw...David especially...you're making me blush...no, wait, that's just wind burn from Chicago.

Bambino, it's probably best not to tell us that stuff now. Wait 'til EW is really famous, and then sell your shocking expose to the highest bidder :)

Carla, before you jump to that conclusion, check and see if you're in Chicago.

Holy Honey Smacks! If I had read CAREFULLY yesterday I would have seen that Ed WENT to Chicago! Im such a putz.

WHat was that saying again?
Reading is Fun and Gentle?

Reading is Gun and Lentle?
or was it
Reading is Hun and Yentle?
or was it
Reading is Pun and Genital?

I give up.

I'm a therapist in a children's mental health program in West Virginia -- the state with the highest rate of child maltreatment deaths in the U.S. Author proceeds from the sale of my first science fiction novel are donated to prevent child abuse. I can't afford to advertise, but I have had some success through pro bono contributions, including three glowing book reviews. Please see the following links.

Please mention this project on your blog, and consider any other assistance that you feel would be appropriate.

Thank you,

Robert Eggleton
