"The
26 vivid photographic portraits and accompanying narratives
display the author's humor, grace and a brilliantly creative
eye. Carlip's alter egos are larger than life and twice
as entertaining... A hilarious, delightful, unique achievement."

been so freakin' busy touring, doing interviews,
and trying to MAKE news, that I've had no time to
REPORT news! But LOTS going on! Wanna see a fun-filled
video clip?
Here's a clip of me taking

The fabulous host/creator Sabrina Artel,
drove to my Barnes and Noble reading in New York,
and she interviewed me and some other fab peeps
who happened to pop into the trailer to talk about
A la Cart!
