Abby has a go at Barney |
Elmo began his tour, officially the World Tour of Monkey Me Elmo – It's All About the Ears!, last year in Sin City. He didn't just start there cuz it's a hip and happenin' place for a party animal like Elmo, but because the leader of the Monkeydogs, Rocket - the MBBVP himself, lives there. MBBVP (the MonkeyButt Bunny Vampire Pirate) appears here in this video of Elmo kicking off his world tour.
"For me??!" |
Even though Rita doesn't live with a Tripawd and therefore doesn't have to compete with one for treats and car rides (translation: pills and trips to the vet), she does sometimes seem to tire of hearing about how great, wonderful, pawesome, beautiful, amazing, etc. her angel Tripawd sister Abby was. So, she was pretty excited to get some mail that was all her very own today.
Even better than a stinky Monkey Me Elmo and his traveling companion, Curious George (or is it Bi-Curious George... They were alone in that box together for a long time...), the box came with MEATBALLS!
"Forget the dolls, give me the meatballs!" |
Elmo & George chilling after their journey |
"Seriously, I'm outta here. Can someone open this for me??" |
"Please give me the meatball!" |
"I NEED it! I need it NOW!" |
"Yes, I'll wear the ears. Just give me another one of those." |
"Um, a little help here!" |
Stay tuned for more of Elmo's adventures in San Diego!
In other book-related news...
The print version of What the Dog Ate is progressing! I spent the last two days obsessing about fonts (for the text, the title page, even for the page numbers!), but I think the formatting is all set and ready to rock and roll. So, on to the next step - submitting to Amazon's CreateSpace print on demand service and making sure it looks okay. I'll keep you posted!
Also, thanks to everyone who voiced/typed/posted their opinion on which "author shot" I should use on the back cover of the book. The winner, by far, was the black and white of Rita and me together, so I sent it off today to the book cover designer!
Finally, I got interviewed on the Manga Maniac Cafe blog the other day. My favorite question was "What are three things Kona would never eat?" You can check the link if you want to know the answer!
Thanks for reading!
Zeffy says, "Yay for meatballs!!!!"

ReplyDeleteI don't know what I find more odd--Elmo doing Las Vegas or a German song about Las Vegas.

Wow, Rocket is a true Movie Star in Las Vegas!!! Viva Rocket!!! MB Beans here to tell you that I think I have fallen for you.....just sayin!
ReplyDeleteBeans out!
Buster says he would have been all about the meatballs too. Finchy disagrees, especially if Elmo smells like Barney. He would have been all about Elmo.
ReplyDeleteOK now that's a sign from the universe....Abby made sure that Elmo arrived at the same time, just to make you smile.
ReplyDeleteGlad it worked, because it sure made us smile too!
Oh, Jenna, Elmo is nowhere near as stinky as Barney! He needs a lot more lovin' first. Rita will do her best to stink him up a bit more!
ReplyDeleteWOOO WHOOO!!! So exciting! I can't wait to see the print copy! :)
