Cartoons! Live!

Have you been listening to Cartoon Carnival? My pal Joe Bevilacqua ("Joe Bev" for short) hosts his little audio extravaganza each week on Shokus Internet Radio. You can scurry over to that site, find out when it's on and listen to the world's first radio program all about animation — with rare cartoon-releated records, interviews with V.I.P.s in the field, etc.

And if you're in the Los Angeles/Glendale area, you can be part of the studio audience for a broadcast! A week from today — Monday evening, November 16, Joe is recording an episode with some very special guests and one or two not-so-special ones. They include animation voice actors June Foray and Gregg Berger, Bill Marx (son of Harpo), the great comedy writer Bob Mills, animation writer-historian Earl Kress…and me. It all starts at 7 PM out at the Glendale Library Auditorium and while you're there, you'll have the chance to purchase (and have autographed) books by several of those folks. Check out this page for more details.
