 Holabird AdvocateProviding all the news we see fit to print since 2002!Monday, July 11, 2005   VOL. IV Issue 7F The Two Phases of Ms. Amanda When it comes to the business called show, Amanda Barrett is a rare talent. She can sing, as she does as half of The Ditty Bops, and she can act, as she does as half of Pretty Things, a sketch comedy on Public Access Cable. Through the courtesy of our good pal Oddjob, we have photos of here doing both. The right photo is Ms. Amanda displaying some "Pretty Things" merchandise at live showing of the DVD of Season 1 of the show last Friday night with guest appearances by Ms. Abby, of The Ditty Bops that includes a sketch of her and Amanda's musical debut as "Pot and Pan." More details can be found at http://www.prettythingsss.com. The left photo has Ms. Amanda providing Dan Hicks with some hot licks on the mandolin when The Ditty Bops opened for him last night. On top of her obvious talents, she can also juggle and eat fire. No wonder her hair is so brightly colored. Perhaps someone will share so photos of those activities as well. This pretty much proves that if Ms. Amanda will do it, and someone will film it, we will publish it. This is an opportune time to mention that Holabird Advocate Publisher Jerry Hinkle has a birthday coming up. You can buy postcards and popcorn stickers for the low price of 50 cents. If you think about it, that's cheaper than a Hallmark card, Bub! Publisher to Play Ball with Todd Epp Todd Epp is starting a Fantasy Football League with a little help from ESPN. Holabird Advocate Publisher, Jerry Hinkle, thought he'd see just how exclusive this club was. Be darned if he didn't get in. ESPN thought his team name of Holabird Honkeys was unacceptable, so he changed it to the Holabird Democrats. ESPN approved, but Mr. Epp has not voiced an opinion one way or the other. Jerry recognizes some famous Democratic Names on the owner's roster, of course Johnson is a name that's as common as dirt, even in South Dakota. ESPN does things a little different that Yahoo!, but Jerry thinks that he'll catch on. Like Yahoo! The league and teams are free. One can upgrade for $30, but Jerry would rather lose every game than part with his principles, or his own money. Oh yeah, he's a Democrat, all right! Rock Star:INXS Premieres Tonight by Ethan Aniston Entertainment Editor, Holabird Advocate CBS begins the search for America's next has-been tonight. In fact the are searching at press time. I can't think what the fuss is about. The previous lead singer of INXS killed himself 8 years ago, and they are just now getting around to replacing him. Why bother? We've seen the contestants in the previews. All the males contestants are groaning like they ate too much cheese and are trying to excrete it ASAP. The ladies show enough skin to be Rock Stars, we even hear one of them trying to channel the spirit of Janis Joplin. Will it be enough? Who cares? Nobody's gonna watch this all the way through. I look for an early cancellation of this show. Give it 4 weeks.
