Hey everybody and their mother,

I'm collecting photos of people reading my book to post on my blog.

Dictionary Girl and Anarchie and Sadie have already done it. (Thanks, girls.)

If you have a book and feel like contributing to this important, important project email me at mail@frankportman.com.

Thank you babies and gentlemen.

I've got a few appearances and shows of various kinds coming up in April and May. Check out my "tour" dates to see if there's anything that might interest you.

Hey, in case anyone over here is interested, I'm going to be on KALX, Berkeley (90.7 FM - streamed here) on Saturday, March 25 at 9PM playing songs and goofing off and so forth. More about that here.

And my book release party is going to be at Cato's Ale House on Piedmont in Oakland on April 11. 7PM-9PM. Free. All ages. With Beth Lisick and Chuck Prophet. More here and here.

Stay tattooed and pierced and stuff/F

So my services are no longer required around these parts.

It's been real, it's been fun, it's been wild, etc.

If you need me, I'll be here and here.

Buy my book

Have fun!

So it looks like I'm going to be spending the last couple of weeks of October in and around New York. I'll be doing a "reading" (with guitar) at the Kettle of Fish in Greenwich Village on 10/26, and solo-acoustic set at a Hallowe'en show in New Haven, CT on 10/29. Plus a show in SF when I get back, on November 9. Details are here.

By the way: it's not actually coming out till April '06, but my young adult novel King Dork is now pre-orderable on Amazon. For what it's worth.

Thanks for all the comments, kids, and be good yourselves and one another.

I was told by someone who sounded like she knew she was talking about that I should make at least one journal entry. I can't remember why, exactly.

I'm a newswire contributor, a sort of writer and a kind of musician.

My weblog is Dr. Frank's What's-it.

My band has quite a few records out and has been around for a while.

I've got a Young Adult Novel called King Dork coming out in Spring 2006.
