hey yall: i wanted to bring your attention to my new YouTube channel. After 18 months ranting as davis fleetwood, I needed to do something that strikes a lighter note- and THE PUBLIC NEWS NETWORK is just that.
If you enjoy- I hope you subscribe, share & all of that good stuff....
For those used to the oh- so- serious DAVIS FLEETWOOD , this new channel will be quite a change- but I will continue posting my - oh- so-serious davis fleetwood style videos, both on my channel and (details are still being worked out) for other site(s) as well.
So- yes, I will still be posting on my davis fleetwood channel- in fact I have plans to expand it by inviting other video creators to post there as well (more details on that soon) - but these short, silly little videos are something that I can punch out quickly. I hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoy creating them.
Ah, so now we are friends in two locales. Very nice, indeed! Cute picture--the missing teeth are very nice--fitting for your 93 (is that what is says, or 98?) years.
Rob. Thanks for the add- have enjoyed a few things I saw of yours on Mcsweeny's... but I'd be careful this week. I mean, have you even read your Horoscope? READ YOUR HOROSCOPE FOR APRIL 21-27
Hey, I wanted to invite you to the Philadelphia Improv Festival.
It's November 8th, 9th, and 10th, and there's going to be some great, great improv comedy from Philly groups and out-of-towners from Chicago, LA, New York, etc.
There's also some great workshops being offered.
Each block of shows is only ten bucks. All the info is at www.phif.org.
Thank you for allowing us to spread the SkyMall love over at No Cure For That. The world (and our site) is a more tolerable place with your humor in it!

Hi Rob, good to meet a fellow David Sedaris, Dave Barry, Woody Allen, and Philip Roth fan. You mentioned that you're looking for representation; if you like, check out the For Writers section on my website -- lots of information there I wish I had when I sold my first book.
