Toe Jam

Thank you, Dara!

Truth is, Toe Jam first visited me in my Writing Studio at The Loft. Now the whole story's been told in their newsletter, "A View from The Loft." Check out the article, "It's All About Kids," on page 2. And thank you for listening to and writing up our story, Dara. I hope the complaints of a stomach-churning, unidentifiable stench in the Writing Studios have since subsided.

Twin Cities Toe Jam tour!

Just wrapped up a few visits to some awesome schools in the Twin Cities area ... Franklin Music Magnet in St. Paul, Neill Elementary in Crystal and Minnehaha Academy in Minneapolis. As always, the kids were amazing and the teachers – after getting over the initial shock of being disinfected with 100% Toenailnaftate  – toetally got into it!

Thank you to my teacher friends Paula and Mark, and to Mrs. Deegan – Minnehaha principal, for inviting us in! Toe Jam, Korn, Gout, Rucas and I loved meeting all of you. We'll treasure the cool raps students wrote for us, including this special song that Mr. Christiansen and his students shared with us – even sang for us at Minnehaha!

For the first time ever, we also met a student who's parents were podiatrists! When we asked the students if anyone knew what "gout" was, she provided a thorough definition they're still buzzing about on Planet Fungeye!
