East Austin Studio Tour 2007

A Note from Enzo's Dad...WATCH ENZO ON ELLEN TOMORROW!!!

Ruth

First, I apologize for the frequency of E-mails this week. But this is too good to keep to myself!

Enzo, Heidi and I just flew back from Burbank, California late last night were Enzo made an appearance on the Ellen DeGeneres show along with James Taylor. We got THE CALL right after I sent the last e-mail and we had to leave the next morning! Nuts.

The show airs tomorrow on NBC at 9am.

He mostly giggled through the spot but it was still very entertaining. They had a multitude of critters for him there - pythons, tarantulas, lizards, frogs, etc. but he was so excited and distracted he didn't really have a chance to show off that amazing brain of his. Either way, a great experience for all of us.

This is from the Ellen DeGeneres web site:

Friday, November 16
JAMES TAYLOR
You can't miss the super spectacular Game Week grand finale! I can't tell you what the prize is, but I can tell you that it's worth over $17,000! And don't forget, you the home viewer can win the exact same prize! We are pulling out all the stops! And when it's all over ...we'll put the stops back in for the next time. Then, for more than 40 years we have loved everything he's ever sang and written, and he just keeps getting better. Multiple Grammy Award winner JAMES TAYLOR will join me. We'll talk about the ups and downs of his lifetime of music, how at age 59 he works up the energy to handle his 6-year-old twin boys, Henry and Rufus Logan. And, James will sing "Sweet Baby Jane" from his upcoming CD "One Man Band." Plus, you'll meet 7 year-old ENZO MONFRE from Austin, TX. Enzo is an expert on insects and reptiles, and his show on Youtube has become an instant sensation.

I think we'll be hearing a lot more about Enzo in the coming weeks!


Sincerely,

The Little Enzo that Could

About a month ago my friend Pete Monfre told me about his son Enzo's new show on YouTube called Enzoology. Well that little show has really taken off and it will be getting national attention very soon!

Here's the first episode from Enzoology...be sure to check them all out :-)

Another great reason to live in Austin...

Greenling Organic Delivery was founded by organic-loving folks who know a flavorful, pesticide-free apple when they taste one. They also know the importance of buying local, healing the environment, and creating a sustainable society.

Alan Barber Presents "Sixman, Texas"

Alan Barber has been working on this film as long as I've know him...it's truly a labor of love.

Across Texas, small communities are struggling to keep their schools and towns alive. For one, the bell has tolled as they graduate their last class, ending generations of local pride and continuity. For another, a Cinderella football season promises to keep hope alive...

New teas at Cafe Caffeine!

We've got two more cool, local vendors at Cafe Caffeine: Texas Medicinals and Zhi Tea.

Both have created exceptional organic teas that you have to taste to believe...even smelling them puts you in a good mood...lol.

Come in give them a try!

It's time for Tessa's tale to be told!

In 1999 I was scheduled to speak in front of a group of educators in Austin Texas about creating fantastic presentations. Like most people, I was nervous and didn't sleep well the night before the presentation. In the pre-dawn hours I had a dream about a little girl who was scared of making a presentation and how she overcame that fear. After I awoke, I wrote the dream down and saw that it was a pretty cool little story.

Five years later, in 2004, I met a very talented artist named Margaret Burns. At the time we met she was pregnant with her first child and excited about bringing a little girl into the world. About 6 months after Mia was born, Margaret noticed the lack of books with the kind of messaging that she wanted to share with Mia as she grew older. I told her about my heroine, Tessa, and she became inspired to illustrate the story.

Fast forward to 2007. Margaret has another incredible daughter named Clara and our book is written, illustrated and ready to be brought to the world. We estimate that it will take $5000 to create the final press-ready proofs and develop a website from which Tessa can tell her first tale....with many more adventures to come!

I have created a Fundable project so that Tessa's tale can be told.

Margaret and I would appreciate you checking it out...and contributing if you can!

Thanks,

Ruth
