It's election day in the states. Cross your fingers and place your votes.
A new pigeon t-shirt from England:
Did you hear about Spanish Matador "El Fandi" running in the NYC Marathon this weekend?
There is a newly released movie titled "The Matador" which follows El Fandi throughout Spain for three
bullfighting seasons in his quest for 100 corridas, or fights in a season.
Fandila ran the marathon with two others: his brother Juan Alvaro Fandila;
and Rodrigo Rufo del Castillo, Fandila’s mozo de espada, or assistant in charge of handing him the sword
when Fandila is ready to kill the bull in the ring. They each wore t-shirts with the number 1 on them. Side-by-side
they read 1-1-1, the number of Fandila’s bullfights this year. Fandila's shirt read from the back "Fandi 111
bullfights and one marathon."
What a Badass.

Let us offer a moment of silence for the arrested spy pigeons in Iran and all outlaw pigeons worldwide.
a side note:
Brian Pigeon's blog had been utterly brilliant lately.
side note # 2:
I fell asleep in the sun on Wednesday. Woke up with a book of Chekhov short stories on my chest, pigeon shit on the cover.
Is this some sort of sign?
wishing you well my friends,
JaMo.

JaMo here, writing to you from Florence, Italy. I'm embarking on a new project to share with all of you while I travel.
It is entitled Pigeons Around the World. Photos of fabulous pigeons around the world, pigeon inspired graffiti, and just
small treasures I've stumbled upon in my travels. You can reach the page through the photos section of this web site.
As for news and happenings in New York, if you haven't already, take my advice and go see HAIR in Central Park.
It will be running for the first two weeks of September at the Public Theater. As is their summer tradition, tickets are FREE.
There is one catch though, the line waiting time is extremely long. If you need help with tickets we'll give you some tips and would
be very happy to help you out. Simply e-mail thepigeonclub@gmail.com Rumor has it that this performance was so successful
that this production and this specific cast will be appearing on Broadway within the next few months. Go see it while you still can.
You won't regret it.
Expect international podcasts soon.
And last but not least, HAPPY SEPTEMBER.

There are a few things I would like to share with all of you lovelys out there.
All of them have to do with making a complete strangers life better.
First, allow me to set the scene.
A few months ago, I received a letter in my mailbox from a prisoner in Folsom Prison
by the name of Joe Dean. The letter was intended for the Bleecker Street Publishing Studio
(which no longer exists.) Compelled by my curiosity (and the strange similarity in situation
and name to a character in a Johnny Cash song,) I replied to this stranger, simply letting
him know that this publishing company does not exist. Ever since, we have faithfully been
corresponding through the mail. He has since been transferred to a different prison
and we continue to correspond frequently.
Each and every letter he receives is genuinely appreciated.
In less than one week I will be moving to Italy for 4 months and leaving the beautiful city
of New York. I know I will not be able to write to Joe as frequently. In his last letter, he
asked if there was any possible way that I could find a few people who would be willing to
correspond with him. If you are at all interested in making this man's life a little brighter
and getting a change to know someone in a situation far different than your current life,
please send a letter to my friend Joe. A little care and interest in the lives of others
is what makes the world a beautiful place.

If you have any questions at all or would like your letters forwarded via e-mail
through the Pigeon Club for your own privacy, please e-mail me at ThePigeonClub@gmail.com
with all the love in the world,
Jackie.
