Subject: Michigan Ren Fest
DB -
What's all this about the Michigan Ren Fest and your possibly not returning? This Michigan girl is out of the loop. You are the only reason I go to the Ren Fest. Until I met you, I never leaned over a stage and let a dead guy pluck crisp bills from my lips.
-Amy
Bob sez:
Amy,
Haven't decided on Michigan yet for 2003. Check in on my site from time to time for uipdates on my schedule.

Subject: Proletariat Party of Bob
Dear Bob:
Do you have a proletariat party? If not, can I form one? We, the Bob zombies, will advocate the overthrow of all world governments and put thee, Ded Bob, as Supreme Dead Man, with Smuj as the leader of the zombies. Tell me what you think. If there already is a party, where can I join?
P.S. Are you eventually hoping for "The Ded Bob Show - Live in Madison Square Gardens" ?

Subject: Hey Ded Bob...
You would be honored if you knew how often your fans think of you. Or. Maybe surprised how many people don't have a life.
Last night my wife and I were having Chinese and were talking about snobby people and how at times people become so enamored of themselves that they become Snobmatized.
I think if the entire world were Bobmatized we would all be a lot better off.
Looking forward to seeing you again next year in Conroe, TX, Your New Orleans friends,

Amen, brother Craig. The whole friggin country is Boobmatized by the current pres. d.b.

Subject: Please come to the Louisiana ren fest
Bob,
Caught your show several years ago and had a blast and yes we made a donation to the cause. Anyway the military being what they are saw fit to move us (again) we now go to the Louisiana Ren fest and we would love to see you there so tell smuj to bring you on down.
By the way. I am grateful to Zoltan for finding you as I found your link from his page.
Anyway please consider coming to the La Ren Fest. It’s wet and muddy and well it’s Louisiana the whole darn place is a swamp but hey we have fun.

Bob sez:
Ooo...doubtful.
By the time TRF is over, I'm as burned out as it gets. You'll have to come up to Houston, or do without. d.b.

Subject: Plagiarism
Hello Bob,
my husband and I were at TRF a few weeks back and as usual, we caught your act. (Ded Bob ROX!) I just ordered 3 T-shirts (mine, Mine, MINE! well actually I'm keeping one, the rest are gifts for other Bob Zombies)
I digress. the reason for this e-mail (aside from wanton Bob worship) is to tell you that there is an online gaming company called Simutronics. this company owns and operates several live action, script based, role playing games. I spend an inordinate amount of time playing one of them in fact, it is called Gemstone III. the weekend before we attended TRF the "game" had an event called Ebon's Gate, which they have every year at Samhain. it is a festival not unlike a renaissance faire complete with merchants and performers, wenches, food, you get the idea. for the past two years I have attended this festival, and there has been a pair of performers there...one so ugly he has to wear sackcloth over his face, he holds a skeleton dummy who tells jokes and rails at the audience, occasionally holding up a large padded sledge hammer...sound familiar? it all but has the Ded Bob show! on a sign on the stage...right down to your lines, zombies, fifi, etc.
At this time I am trying to get a copy of a log of that part of the festival. when I do, would you like me to send it to you? the website itself can be found at www.play.net
Last year when I saw this act I thought perhaps the Simutronics corporation had your permission to use Bob. Then I thought to myself...Self? are you insane?! Bob would never allow himself to be used in such a cheap manner...now Smuj
seriously, I find this to be the worst kind of plagiarism and it offends me very much.
on a lighter note, My husband and I come to TRF from North Dallas at least once each year, it's a wonderful festival but frankly, I don't know if we would bother to make the drive if it weren't for your act and a few of the merchants that we don't get to see anywhere else. and when folk who've never had the balls to get on a stage and TRY to do what you do insist that you need new material? tellem' to get their own phuckin show

Subject: From your loving interpreter and bob-zombie of Michigan
Hello Ded Bob!
I just wanted to write and let you know how great you were last night! Oh! The things you can do with that femur of yours! Me bringing that "SPECIAL" toy that I like so much was almost not needed. However, the things you can do with that are amazing also.
I also wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed working with you at the Michigan Ren Fest. It is amazing that even when I haven't seen you for a while what an impact you make on me. You are truly the only reason I continue to work the Michigan fest. The owners are quite stingy and I hope you don't stop working there because of them. Each year I wait and wonder if I am going to get paid or not. This year it took them two months to pay us! I guess they were debating on if they were going to pay us. ( like the meager pay they give us for gas really is going to break them. If they really wanted to improve our impact on the festival, they would pay for breast implants! ) You can't stop working the Michigan festival because I won't work it anymore if you aren't there. Even though I was getting over West Nile Virus the weekend I worked, you did make it bearable for me. Thank you so much.
Ded Bob, you know you are my one and only. I am looking forward to seeing you again next year.
-Love,Jeni (Interpreter for Michigan Ren Fest)
Bob sez:
Jeni,
Your one and only, eh? Then who was that scroungy mutt I saw you with last Saturday?! You faithless strumpet!! I love that sort of slutty behavior. How did you know? Keep up the skanky good work. You're really starting to get to me. d.b.

Hi Bob,
I'm going to spend the whole winter waiting for spring and the AZ Ren. Faire. I know what you think about mortuary science but I need your advice yet again. What would you suggest an Associate Degree or a Bachelors Degree.

Subject: thanks again ya big softie
Dear Bob,
Thanks again for the great entertainment. Me and the cleavage cuties in the hairwrap booth really appreciate your show. Nice legs. Chloe has once again requested a 'Ded Bob' type doll on her Christmas list. I need to get this taken care of and soon, as for the second year in a row the in-laws and ex's are asking me what the hell I'm exposing her too. Any ideas??? Cough one up Mr. 'I love the kids when they have money'. That little girl is growing up and I think she has her eye on Smuj's job. She has developed a sarcastic 'Bob like' attitude and a sense of humor that shocked a few adults. (I got a phone call about a teacher being referred to as 'Cleavage' and she has referred to my ex as being Ned-ly) Not that it's a bad thing. I personally feel you should be the host of a morning kids show, dirty jokes and all. In any case me and the Cleavage cuties will be admiring you from afar. Chloe of course will be front row and pie eyed. And Tiffy has offered to bounce for you anytime (I think Chloe is picking that up too).
-The Chaperone
Bob sez:
Mary,
Who you callin softee? I'm stiffer than I've ever been. And, you'd better lock those "Cleavage Cuties" up before they get me in trouble. d.b.

WHAT I'VE SEEN WITH MY OWN EYE SOCKETS FOR SO MANY YEARS.
Dear Mr. Orwick,
Met you last weekend and you seemed preoccupied, even a bit pissed. Given the pathetic state of the Mich Fest I can't say I blame you. If you leave after this season I understand, but you ain't gettin outta town without hearing me out.
I don't call someone a "genius," nor in possession of "a heart the size of Jupiter" lightly ... nor very frickin often to be sure. But I've watched you for enough years, seen you elevate handicapped persons to the status of Royalty, compliment rather than bash school teachers, and amidst a gaggle of uber-celebrities - who say they don't want fame whilst standing in front of a camera shunted to millions of homes - seen you cover your face, pour your talent/soul into a puppet and end up bringing more joy than any of them put together. I wouldn't blame you if you stormed Conan, Leno, and Letterman with Bob, but still suspect you know that the "richest" people also seem to be the most unhappy, at least in my experience.
Vaudeville isn't easy to teach these days. That it doesn't easily translate into film, that when it's gone it's gone, and relies upon common real-time experience. Hopefully I'll get our drama club out to see you this Saturday before you are gone. If there is a Vaudeville Hall of Fame, you sure the hell should be in it lad. Thanks for the years, and countless laughs. Cheers and regards to you and yours.
And if Bob thinks this is maudlin, tell him I fart in his general direction! Your friend,
-Tom
C.O. sez:
Tom,
Thank you for your touching letter. You're correct in your observation of my "pissed" demeanor the other day. It was a result of a variety of factors and I'm not always adept at keeping my feelings to myself. Suffice it to say that I'm in good spirits again and as for now, I'm 70 per cent sure I'll be back in Michigan next year. C.O.
Tom replies:
None of us can imagine fall without Ded Bob! Attached please find our vision of MichFest owner Jim Peterson. heheheh Cheers and regards to you and yours lad. Hope JP comes around and shows the talent the respect they deserve as true vaudevillians! Keep in touch and hope ta hell you come back.

Hey Bob, and yeah smuj too :^),
I just wanted to say that as every year I loved your show at the Michigan Renaissance Festival. I had my 4 y/o son with me this year and he absolutely LOVED your show. He hasn't stooped talking about is since. He has told all the kids at school about it. Hopefully the owner of the MI Festival will stop being a stingy pain in the arse. We live in Chicago now, but we love your show so much that we still go to the MI Ren Fest because of you. You are one of the main reasons that we go every year.
Hope to see you again next year

Words cannot express my feigned grief that I cannot fulfill my vows of marriage to yourself; nor for any of the (to date) 7,312 women that I have wed. I have been charged with polygamy and my full attention will be given over to litigation concerns. I may be criticized for asking that you remain faithful to me, but I think we both know it has to be that way. bless you, in advance, for your continued love and the checks from your uncle moe,

Bob,
Hey! Last year I saw your show for the first time and I thought you were great. My sister had done impressions of you, but they weren't as good as the real you. I just wanted to say that I think you're awesome and I'll see you opening weekend at the Ren. Fest near Houston. I'll be the shopkeeper's daughter, dressed in a dress that really squeezes my bust, sitting in the front row... Maybe the second.... aw, hell, you'll see me. Lata!
P.S. I don't know if you remember or not, but I sent you an email last year saying that I was a fan, but I had never seen your show. I have now seen the show and I'm now more of a fan than ever. Hell, I'd be a groupie if I had the time and money.

Subject: Ded Bob, you are my Hero
Ded Bob,
I have been to the MRF for many years in a row, mostly just to see you (alright, I do enjoy those turkey legs) You are probably the funniest dead person I have ever seen in my life. I just returned home from it, and I must say, you had quite the uncooperational Zombie1 today. She would not even get hopping mad.
However, If you are not at the Festival next year, I fear that I shall have to hunt you down, and kill you...again. Not only that, but I will chain Smuj to some object far away from you, causing you to have to Crawl, pitafully, and miserably back to him, all the while being BONKED by all of the Zombies you have abused over the years with Extra-Strength Bonkers (AHHHH!...AHHHH!...AH!) Ok, well, I won't REALLY do that, but I don't want to have to fly all the way out to someplace like Texas, or, God forbid, COLORADO! To see you.
Would it help if I drew a nice picture of you? Would you come back to the MRF then?

Dear Smuj and Bob,
This will be the third time today that I have tried to get an email to you. If these are repeated please excuse the blonde activity for the moment. So here goes..,I don't know that you will remember this or not but I was Zombie #1 "Mary" on your Noon Performance of Saturday 9-21-02. My kids said that having mom (that's me) up on stage, was the greatest...Your show made our faire experience complete. We had heard some very fun things about the performances and had to see for ourselves. The rumors didin't do you justice. We hope to see you again next year. I thought you might like a few copies of the pictures we took. If you could email me back and let me know that you received these I would love to hear from you. I hope that you enjoy your winter. I am going to try to attach 5 pictures. So here goes.
Take care and thanks for the laughs,

Of course I remember you. You are my favorite Zombie ever. Sincerely, The actual Ded Bob and not his secretary pretending to be Ded Bob.

Hi bob,
Thanks for taking time out of your busy schedule to email a zombie...Where do you spend your winters? Will you be coming back to the Michigan Ren fest? If no than which will you be at instead? I will have to check the web page to get the scoop on my favorite dead guy. Did you get the pictures? I

Subject: THANK YOU!!!!!
Dear DedBob,
I've come to your show in Michigan for many years of your ded life, but never have I seen your ability to pick out rulebreakers from the audience be so uncanny as I saw on Saturday afternoon (the 21st). Zombie #1 at the 3:30pm show was just gorgeous! I've never seen such a perfect female Zombie as I did that day. When she came up on stage, I whispered (below my wife's hearing level) THANK YOU!!!....and when you turned to the audience and said "Your welcome", you probably answered mine and many other DedBob male fans instant worship of your Zombie seeking skills.
If SMUJ decides to retire, I want to try out as your new dummy (my wife already tells me that I'm stupid, so I'm qualified). I just want to be with you as more Zombie #1's like the one from Saturday afternoon appear with you on stage. What a ded life! Again, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!!!!
P.S. I was so gratified to place many $1's (I didn't have a $5) in her basket when she came through the audience.
-Nick G., SMUJ protoge

I would also like to say one more thing, the first time I came to the renascence festival in Michigan, Detroit area, you gave all the bob zombies free ded bob t-shirts, the second time I went, my dad was bob-motized yet he didn't get a t-shirt.

I went to the Michigan Ren Fest labor day weekend, and my friends insisted we see your show, since I had never seen it before. It was wonderful! I don't think I've ever laughed so hard. ( perchance you remember a gang of pirates sitting in the front row on Labor Day? ) I hope you had a good time in Michigan... and stay away from Colorado! Those freakin' yuppies wouldn't know entertainment if it bit them in the ass. ( must be the thin air.. thin's out their brain cells )
Thanks again for the awesome show, I definitely be seeing you at the next faire ( with a 5$ tip of course... but only if i get laid by you, Bob )!

I emailed the fest here and told them what was on my mind and hope that I will get a response and that something will be done about it. We love your show and so does everyone we take to it, hope your around for years to come, oh, and never change the show. Its perfect the way it is.

Hey Bob! (I'll wait) I first saw your act at the TRF about 6 years ago, definitely a depends moment. But who knew your little hands would be so cold you naughty boy? (I know, I know........ you're ded) I saw you again at the TRF when I was very, very pregnant (and in full wench costume) (no...........not yours, not your costume either) and you took great delight in pointing out to everyone just what the baby would have to look forward to at feeding time and damnit if you weren't jealous! Thanks so much, you made my day at the faire, what good is getting all puffed up during pregnancy if there's no ded-lechers around to notice. I now live on the east coast and am fabulously delighted to know that I will be able to see you at the New York Renaissance Faire in Tuxedo this year. The Mud Show is fun........but a faire is just not the same without you. I'll be there opening weekend.........can't wait!

I started to worry with all the rumours flying that you would not be at Larkspur this year. I heard you'd been letting smuj take a break. I was delighted to see you again last weekend. My mate found your "Sit, damn you" rather interesting and hillarious as it seemed to scare and tame the little brats running around in front of the stage. He still cannot decide whether he liked you or Puke and Snot better. He did get laid although he gave you a lousy dollar. We in Colorado are indeed cheap bastards.

Ded Bob,
What's this I read on your website about Coloradoans being the cheapest beings on earth? I'm practically in the poorhouse from the money I spent at the festival! Maybe you'd get more cash if you wrote some new material??? Okay, I'm joking. Loved the show. I'm sorry other Coloradoans are so cheap. I hope you'll return.
Also, what's this about giving people crap for not spelling stuff correctly? This coming from the guy whose show is called "The Ded Bob Sho"? Who needs to get a dictionary? :P Your name gives my spellchecker fits!
P.S. I saw you diss that guy with the Hawaiian shirt and black socks! THANK YOU!!!!!
Hope to see you again,

Hey d.b. I looked you up on web because I was telling my friend a story about you. I was born and raised at the ren faires. When I was about three (1989 ?) I was at the Fairburn, GA show while my mom worked for Toni Lamberti (Queen of Hearts clothing). I was deathly afraid of you. One weeknight I was walking across the fair to find my mother at the payphone and you just appeared out of nowhere. I will never forget how scared I was! I was ( and still am ) in awe of you. Thank you for doing your job so well. I may never see you again, but I will never forget you.

Greetings, Ded Bob!
After Seeing you in the GA Ren. Fest. the last year you were there, I was informed that you were not returning. My little heart broke, as I realized it was truth... I had told many of my friends about you, and your act, with Smuj. I also went on all the message boars I post upon, and posted links to your site. I also issued a series of web-site referrals, (and there were about 18 total) and your site was listed in all 18! Anyways- When I was at your sho, You just so happened to invite my mum onstage with you, and she was your first victim to be Bob-motized for that sho... Anyways- It was fun, and entertaining to see you sass on my momma like that. (We always sass each other for fun, so it was nice seeing someone else help me, since I'not quite as clever as she is.) Anyways- I was also wondering if anyone has a tape that I can buy of one of your proformances ??? Do you plan on making a tour at any comedy clubs? Just wondering..... I also think that I had more to say, but I forgot... (like you, I'm a tad absent minded.)
Oh well...I do know that I had something else I wanted to ask... is it You,or Smuj that wants to retire??? I'd love to take over the Job for Smuj, if you're interested.... Just let me know, on how much the contract is.... I know you said that geed has taken over, Bu I think it'd be a shame to allow the legend of Ded Bob to just fade out like a damn old light-bulb. I mean, we could always pay royalties to Smuj. Oh well, it's worth a shot. Just let me know, or have some paperwork drawn up, or something if it's possible. I really hope so, because I'd love to work with ya, Bob. I really need something positive in my life. Maybe you have a relative that I could tour with??? Anyways- I'm gonna go for now. I hope to hear back from you soon.
BTW- please reply to the email itself, and Not post on your site.... I am making a serious inquiry about the franchise, and would hate to further make myself appear to be a fool. I do that fine by myself, Thanks!

Hi there smuj, my name is Laura but all my friends call me Slave. Long story, not very funny anyways. Here's the deal - I've been a loyal bob zombie since I first saw your show with my loyal bob zombie best friend, Renee, five years ago. I am TOTALLY proud to say that I was a Mary Oat Blossom that very first time, and proceeded to buy a "many faces of Bob" shirt. I tell ya, smuj, that shirt is weird to wear to school because it gives weirdo guys that are ren fest freaks the chance to hug you without asking. Anyways, I've got a few things I'd like to say before I come to that small, dusty hot town to see you this Sat. Most importantly, thank you so much for coming this year. I not only always enjoy your show SO much more than Puke and Snot because you're up with the times, man, but also, after looking over your cool site, I've learned that I have a lot in common with you! I bet you get that a lot, but I have cool things in common with you. I played the Cheshire cat my senior year of high school (my comp teacher told me I acted more like a cat in heat, how weird huh) and I've also been working as a janitor to pay the rent. Janitor stuff sucks a lot, don't get me started.
Well, I'll try to make this shortER than it is already. I want to tell you thanks again, and I really respect your work a lot. I can hardly wait to sit front and center, just like we always do, with my best friend Renee again (you'll know it's us, we always wear our bikini tops to your show), and with my other great bob zombie friend Justin, who Bob once referred to as a weenie and boy was he ever on the dot, and new friend who shares Bob's name who is a loyal bob zombie, and my boyfriend Patrick, who I'm excited to say will be bombdafied or however you spell it for the very first time!!! Tell Bob to pop his cherry well, please. He needs it. We all do, smuj, we all do.
Love, a loyal fan with loads of respect for the man behind the mask,

Hey D.B.,
I haven't been to your site since the beginning of the AZRF. Basically because after attending every...single....fricken...weekend...both days...for eight weekends, I'm pretty much renned out for a couple of months (or in the Betty Ford clinic). But I was just looking at you letters and I like your response to the gal asking about your old material at AZRF this year. I've seen you there for eight years. In those eight years I've seen the perfection of your show evolve. And I wouldn't have it any other way. What if you changed it and you didn't say "Hey audience!" or pick up the bonker to hear the audience "Scream in horror" or see Fifi abuse the power or (and most importantly) see Sweet Marry Oat Blossom get hopping mad. Jeeeezzzzz Bob, that would just plain suck!!! Keep up the good work and don't change a thing.
Anyway, every year I seem to meet some wench out here in the real world that has never seen your show or been to a festival and I manage to drag her out there. It always gets me laid. (btw, I owe you about 300 bucks...) Your show seems to act like some sort of aphrodisiac. Must be the site of your 10" long.........femur. Thanks for all the extra horizontal mambo. Oh and don't worry, I practice safe mambo.

For many years i have been enjoying your shows in Larkspurshire... and then you disappeared.. i was very happy to know that you came back though. I have just looked over your website and saw that you are semi retired, which is very understandable (I would want to retire with some of the people who attend the faires..shudder) In any case, I was curious how much longer you will be coming to our wonderful state, as you are retiring. I have a few friends that I would like to bring down to see you perform before you go. Keep up the good work, and as much as I enjoy your shows, alas I know that all good things must come to an end. I hope that you enjoy yourself where ever you may go.

Subject: remembering when
Hey, DedBob and smuj!
We just wanted to drop you a line and tell you how much we love you. Sadly, we have not seen your sho in many years as we are now living in Iowa and you don't perform any closer to us than Michigan. But we do have your sho on video tape and we have shown it to all of our friends here -- who, of course, find you hilarious and want you to come to our faires!
We first saw your sho 11 (or 12?) years ago at the Michigan Ren Faire and we've been fans ever since. In fact, we were married at that faire and, of course, we had to celebrate our day by seeing your sho, having photos taken with you and buying your t-shirts (which we still have and wear). It's been 10 years this fall and we wanted to let you know that we are still together and still think of the fun we had with you that day. (Tiffany says thanks for the kiss "on the other cheek," by the way!) We sincerely wish we could celebrate our big anniversary at the Faire with you, but, sadly, we must travel to Michigan in July instead for a family reunion. We suppose we could say, "Tough, we're going to wait and go see DedBob!" but considering that side of the family hasn't seen our children in about 3 years... and some of them have never seen them... *sigh* Ah, well. Perhaps some fortunate day we can bask in your glory again.
P.S. We were thinking you wouldn't remember us (as you meet so many people), but perhaps you would. We were the first wedding at the MI faire in many years. The funny thing is that they said we could get married there "if we kept it quiet." We just hopped up on a stage with a few good friends (and the king's heralds, actually) and were done with the ceremony in all of 10 minutes. Supposedly, people got a kick out of us being there (we DID wind up on the radio and won their "couple married the least amount of time" contest) because the next year the faire had about 50 couples get married simultaneously!
Ever your faithful zombies,
-Tiffany and David Cox

At the time we thought, how much could a ded guy break her heart or get her in trouble? Now she's heart broken that she won't get to see her "bonehead" get "bonked" or "bobmotised" this year at the renaissance festival. Oh a tragedy that you've spread upon our family.... Where should we send the divorce papers? Anna says its over!
Hope we can see you at one of your other venues some day - Take care of smuj...
Until then - get bonked!

Hi, hi, hi! Well, first of all I just want to tell you that I love your show. It's just amazing! It's so funny. I came twice this year and saw your show 5 times, I think. I came with a friend of mine that you know- kinda'. Anyway... I gotta ask you- will you marry me? :O) Because you're just great stuff. I'll marry any one of you. Bob, Smuj, or the man behind the mask - whom I've heard is pretty sexy. Lol. You're already married, huh? NO? G/F? MAYBE? NO? Well, if you do... I can go for a little menage (sp?). If not...just marry me! Marry me and... this person you know. I can't tell you who that is. You'll know, though. You probably got a thing with age, though, huh? Damn if you do.
Alrighty then, I'm going to go. Hope you have a lovely day or afternoon or night or whatever! I'll send an erotic dream your way, okay? Lol...
Lata'z,

Bob sez:
Tyler,
we here at ded bob productions take your proposal of marriage very seriously. Even now a team of researchers are checking into your personal history and crosschecking the results with bob's/smuj's/guy behind the mask's
compatability charts. If the results are promising, a driver in a mercedes limousine will arrive at your door to whisk you away to Paris, via the "chunnel" where you will be sold to slave traders and sent to the himalayas to service monks.

Dear Ded Bob, I was so thrilled to see that your are finally coming to my side of the country that I went right to the site for the New York Ren Faire and began looking around. I discovered Rennaisance Mad Libs, and decided to use your name as part of one... this is what I came up with. I though it was so funny, I wanted to share. I can't wait to see your show again this summer!!
"Lover's Lament: Oh unhappy I bounce. My manatee I have given in troth to my courageous love, Ded Bob. With a little toe as tiny as a tomato and a voice which sends elephants to under the sea, Ded Bob is all cat in mine eyes. 'Twere it not for Ded Bob 's dastardly quasi uncle we would married be already. God's elbow be that collosal relation, for Ded Bob and I should e'en now be bathing together in marital bliss. Would that I were a terrible daffodil, such impediments should not breath and I would but pursue Ded Bob from his/her clavicle and we would ride together upon my bold lantern into the night to live heavenly ever after."

Subject: Teen program
My name is Joan Murphy, and I am the Communtiy Resource Coordinator for the Jefferson county Health Department. I do a lot of outreach and education with teens in our county. I attended one of your shows at the Festival in Arizona last year. It was a great show and during your performance, a thought came to me about your material. Some of it would be very appropriate for giving anti smoking messages. Teens would really tune into your presentation through your humor.
Each year, I help organize a county-wide health education day for high school students. In the past, we have had Addison Steele, rock musician, and others to do presentations. The teens have been very receptive to these types of shows. I don't know if any of this sounds interesting to you and what your position is on smoking. I gathered that you, or rather ded bob, is against smoking. This would be a great forum to get the message out to teens.
Have you ever considered doing anything with the smoking/drug issues on a local level. I would greatly appreciate having some dialgue in regards to what role you might be interested in. I could pursue seeking funding through grants to compile a personal appearance or better yet a video.
I hope to hear from you about this proposition. You may email me at the above address.
Thank you for your time and I will wait to hear from you.

Bob sez:
Joan,
Thanks for your interest, but I have rarely done BOB successfully outside the renaissance circuit.

As for the anti-smoking part, yes, I am a tyranical anti-smoker and one thing I have learned is the single best way to encourage kids to smoke is to tell them not to smoke. d.b.

Subject: Ded Bob @ Sterling Forest
To Ded Bob and his manservant, smuj:
Greetings!
I am Blackwolf the Dragonmaster, Duke of Talisker --- New York City's first and only Unofficial Wizard! I am quite pleased that the goodlies at mine dear home faire, the New York Renaissance Faire Sterling Forest, have finally booked you to spend some time with Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth I, and the rest of her Royal Family and Friends in the Shire of Sterling!
As for myself, I have returned your site to its proper place among Blackwolf's Favorite Faire Performers (that's in me Links segment, mind you!) because I have a particular bone to pick with the both of you. Your links page features a link to one of your Georgia Renaissance Festival colleagues, one Ik the Troll by name. I have tried in vain to locate his webpage; and I cannot get any particular information re his whereabouts from the Fairburn crew. Now, when someone like Ded Bob tells me that this Ik fellow is, in your words, "sooooooo cute --- and funny dammit," I am inclined to believe ye.
Alas, what point is there in believing how cute (and funny dammit) Ik is without so much as linking to him? I fear, dear Ded Bob, that I am being given a runaround --- and, since I'm a Wizard, you know that we Magic-users don't take too kindly to being given the said runaround.
That said, please tell me if Ik the Troll is indeed reachable online. If so, I shall link to his site posthaste; otherwise, do tell Ik to fix up his bloomin' link, already!
Again, we look forward to your visit to the Shire of Sterling; and we encounter each other, I do indeed hope to experience being Bobmotized.
More news as soon as I can deal with it. Anon!
Fearlessly yours,

Anyway, loved the show, especially the part where you yelled "SIT DOWN YOU FOOL!" at the guy in the jester's hat, standing in the aisle.

She was so disappointed that you didn't choose her to be "Bob-mo-tized". She is having her wedding at the Texas RenFest on Saturday October 20, 2001 at 2:30 p.m. The Reception is going to be in the German Arbor from 3:00 - 4:30 p.m. She would be absolutely thrilled if you could possibly stop by the reception and say hello. By the way....she does NOT know I am inviting you to come by the reception so it would be a wonderful surprise for her wedding day if you can possibly do it. Also, there will be refreshments aplenty of which you may partake, and you can kiss the bride (and all the other women that you can corner).
I know you're very busy and we'll understand if you don't receive this email in time...in which case I will just physically accost you at the Festival on the day of the wedding. If it's possible for you to stop by the reception, it would make her day extra special.
Thanks for your time and consideration. Oh yeah...in case I forgot to tell you...Smuj is invited too.
We remain, Your devoted fans,
- Judy Hoff and daughter, Jessica

Subject: loved your performance
Dear Ded Bob,
Have loved your performances for many years. Please return to the Georgia Renfest next spring. I need to update my score card on who is the bigger attreaction.( That is my word for combined audience attraction and performer reaction.)...Is it Ded Bob or Broon? So far the score card runs thusly:
Broon has hunky meat on his bones SCORE 1.
Ded Bob will never have a beer belly. SCORE 1.
Broon's eyes are as blue as mystical winds. SCORE 2.
Ded Bob's eyes reveal real DEPTH of character (and are windy too). SCORE 2.
Broon kisses guys. SCORE 1 (for nerve).
Bob, happily, kisses only women On more than one body part! SCORE 2 (for nerve and creativity).
Broon can swallow fire. SCORE 1.
Bob can't even swallow a jalapeno chip. SCORE 0.
Broon starts early with his shows. SCORE 2.
Bob sometimes doesn't start show until 2 weeks after faire opening. (Are you a LATE
riser, Bob? I appreciate early shows, for the heat of the latter hours leaves me burned out.) SCORE 1.
Broon is extremely witty. SCORE 3.
Bob is extremely witty AND WRITES LYRICS! SCORE 4.
Broon has a cool t-shirt. SCORE 2.
Bob has a cool t-shirt, but it costs more. SCORE 1
All right. I'm going to scratch that comparison on swallowing fire and hot chips, partly because I know you have a BLAZE for LAYS, dear Bob.
Add up the score. Broon: 11. Ded Bob: 11.
TIE BREAKER:
Broon at responding to emails. Currently, SCORE 0.
Ded Bob at responding to emails: That's up to you, hon.
Thanks for the fun. Three tiny questions and I am done:
Do you drink Ded Guy ale?
What kind of fudge is your favorite, Smuj?
What strikes your own funny bone the hardest?
- Laughter, Light and Love, Deb
Bob sez:
Broon!!!!! Your comparing me to that puny hack?! If he wasn't a dear friend, I'd let you know some details about his secret life dressing as a French Maid for Shriner's Conventions.
P.S. For the first time in 14 or so years, I will not be returning to the Georgia Festival this year. I was a very difficult decision...and who knows... I may be back one day. Honestly, thanks for many years of support.

Subject: Loved your show
Dear Ded Bob,
We just got home from the Texas Rennesaince Festival and LOVED your show! This was my first year attending and we will be going from now on every year if you will be there. I told my family about you and they found your web site and now are fans, even though they have never seen you perform. We are fans for life! (pardon the pun)
You might have noticed us at opening weekend--Bill was wearing a Jester's hat and we were sitting behind the "cleavage girl" in the black dress you picked to go on stage. On second thought, you may not have noticed us.
- Love, Amy and Bill Smith (yes, that IS our real names)
Bob sez:
Smiths, (as if that's your real names) of course I remember...I never forget a cleavage.
Subject: You changed your act
Dear Ded Bob & Smuj,
Omigosh! You changed your act! I loved it, as always!! No, you don't know me, and no, I have not been lucky enough to have been a stage zombie... but I sure am one of those that enjoy the heck out of your show.
Oh, by the way, I catch the show in Holly, MI. I saw the last Saturday show of the Michigan Rennaisance Festival. Bob, uh, may I call you Bob? Anyhow, I usually go with my daughters, but they were busy. My husband was hunting, so I brought with me, someone that had never been to the Faire before. I work with him, and he loved the Festival, but most memorable was your show.
The ale flowed, the laughter hearty, and yes, we hit the zombies bag a couple of times. You're definitely worth it.
Continued success, and we'll see you next year!! Oh, and Happy Halloween!!
- Love, as always, gayle - Swt
Bob sez:
Many thanks for your kind words, but I am curious about "...changed your act!". I did? That's news to me.
P.S... Swt?

Subject: Quick question
The photos of you have a different looking smuj in many of them. (Different outfit at least) Since smuj isn't seen, is he always the same guy? Just suspecting a franchise of hundreds of trained smujs out there earning you lucre! Just wondering.
Actually this is based on the fact that the guy behind us at the TRF said he had seen Ded Bob in Phoenix? and that Smuj looked smaller in Texas.
Any Comments?

Bob sez:
There are 23 smuj's that I keep in dry storage and rotate out on a monthly basis...however, there's only one me.

My name is Melanie. I was there every weekend and the date in question was September 30th.. The very last show in fact. I came forward with a few of the other "rennies" . You did the face in the chest routine while my Mom watched. I just wanted to say Hi and I loved the shows. The part about owing me was just a smart remark. My whole family thinks you are awesome and we hope you'll be at HollyGrove next year.
Stay safe, stay funny and keep singing---Yes I have been 'Bobmotized'
P.S.-I am over 18 so don't think my Mom is upset. Hugs from Michigan

If your Mother is upset...send her to me.

Subject: Ded Bob Tshirt
I live in Colorado. I attend the festival every summer with my family. My nephew knows just about every line in your show. It's his favorite. I am writing because he fell off our roof Friday. He is doing great, but is still at Children's Hospital. Unfortunately, the Paramedics cut his Dead Bob shirt and it wasn't repairable cuts. It's the shirt that has "Look into my eye sockets" on the front with the skull and has "The Dead Bob Show" on the back. Is there any way we can get one of these to replace the other one? He will be 13 in February and wears a large size shirt. Please let me if this is possible and at what cost (which is no matter to me). If it is possible, I would like to have it shipped quickly. Thank you for any assistance that you can be.
- Michelle Campbell
I apologize for the time that it has taken for me to let you know that I did receive the shirt. I have been out of town. My mother was supposed to give him the shirt, but she thought it would be better coming from me so he hasn't received it yet. I hope to see him tomorrow and give him his shirt. I wasn't here for Thanskgiving, but Richard did come over to spend time with his Grandparents. It was the first time he was out here since the accident. From what I've heard he was a little afraid. He was given space though so that he didn't have to entertain the younger children. Once again I want to say THANK YOU VERY MUCH for everything that you have done. I hope that we will see you this summer. I will let you know what his response is when he gets his shirt.
- Michelle Campbell
Bob sez:
Dear M - Tell Richard to wear it till it drops...or he does.
