I’m happy to announce that the DVDs are now available, are being mailed out, and should find their way into your homes, at long last…
Also, I’m thrilled to say that I will be traveling around the country with My Skin’s on Fire. In partnership with the National Psoriasis Foundation (see a reprint of our recent interview), I will be presenting the film in four cities, beginning in March. Working with the local Support Groups we’ll be screening the film for members of those groups. And even if you’re not an official member of a Group but are a member of the NPF you’re most welcome to attend!

Our goal is to tie the film to a Signature Fundraising Activity - much like an AIDS Walk-a-thon. All funds collected will benefit the Foundation. Hopefully, if the screenings go well, we can add other cities to our tour.
Our ‘Road Show’ is heading for the following cities in early 2006 … and now 2007:

• San Francisco - March 21, 2006
• Portland - March 28
• Los Angeles - March 30
• Dallas - April 20
• Pittsburgh - May 8
• Chicago (Evanston) - May 16

• Aventura, FL - Sept 12
• San Diego - Sept 28
• Mountain View, CA - Oct 18 (RSVP details)
• Palo Alto, CA - Jan 11, 2007 7 PM at the Stanford Health Library

If you live in or near one of these cities please contact the NPF (800-723-9166) and tell them you’d like to attend. I look forward to meeting all of you ‘On the Road’.
