Molly, currently in AUSTRALIA writes: "...Dear Chris, My name is Molly and I am from San Francisco, Ca doing a study exchange program at Griffith University Gold Coast, Australia. One of my dorm mates adopted this baby kangaroo (joey) after his mother was shot and killed for dog food..." MORE HERE.
Sara from KC writes: "...Hi, My sister guilted me into running a stage in a marathon relay. On the entrance form they asked who I'd like to thank, and I wrote "Chris Leavins - motivational speaker". So motivate me, Chris! Perhaps with a new video, maybe some pithy words from Pervy? I can't face chipper, healthy marathoners in lycra/spandex all by myself. These people will be sprinting by like, "Why, this protein pouch is delicious! All my dreams are alive!" I just don't want to get sucked into their delusions. Thanks Chris...the website updates alone still make my day. Sara." THE RESULTS.
Sebastian from SWITZERLAND writes: "...Hi Chris, maybe you're interested in featuring buttoneye.ch in your show. They're quite hyped here at the moment, and when I saw the attached picture on their gallery, I had to think of CWC. These craetures remind mostly of cats and dogs and seem to be the perfect decoration for the young, stylish, or just people like me who aren't allowed to have pets by their landlord. There's even a BLENDER BUTTON EYE.
Lanna from ARKANSAS writes: "...Hi Chris, This week, in Exciting Animal Photography Adventures, I went on an Arkansas Safari, which is mostly just me sitting in the back of a friend's pickup truck, and off-roading through the woods and fields of their farm looking for week-old baby cows. I call it an Arkansas Safari because that tricks my friends and family from Massachusetts into thinking that it is not so bad here. Good news, we found the baby cows, and they're adorable. Bad news (for them) is they're male, which means sometime in the relatively near future, they will become delicious hamburgers. Everything dies, hooray!"
A big thank you to everyone who has been sending me emails about my brand new book. It's completely bizarre to me that I can work my ass off putting together a collection of stories, post it on the internet, and actual humans all over the world will read it. (I love modern technology.) For people who've been waiting, I just posted an abridged performance version of my story THE CAPTAIN on my iTunes page that I recorded here at a show in LA. If you're not already a subscriber, you can find the concert recordings of many of my essays available for free HERE.
