I love hearing from fans of the show. I get incredible letters from all sorts of unexpected places, and sometimes, they let me know that I’ve been spotted in unexpected places.

One of the most recent messages was from Bethany Boles, a fan from Connecticut. She was recently visiting New York City and while in downtown Manhattan she spotted me as part of the Magic Hat ad campaign. (for those who don’t know, I lent my image to Magic Hat Brewery for a series of commercials and print ads run throughout the country)

Naturally I was flattered that someone even noticed me amidst the hustle and bustle of Manhattan, and I was thrilled that Magic Hat had placed ads throughout the city. What I didn’t realize was the extent of the presence!

I’ll be on the road for the next seven weeks and will be making some public appearance stops along the way. Here’s one to watch out for:

Roderick Russell : Sword Swallower
Appearance and Book Signing
Borders Books and Music
300 Lycoming Mall Circle
Pennsdale, PA 17756

DATE: April 12, 2008
TIME: 1 pm

I’ll be on hand to sign copies of Ripley’s Believe It Or Not : The Remarkable… Revealed and will be giving a close-up performance, a brief sword swallowing demonstration and a Q&A session to follow.

Hope to see you there!
