Thank you to Blue Bunny Books for hosting me for a storytime on Tuesday, June 21. What a great bookstore!
I also showed this early Snappsy sketch. In early 2015, Tim was playing around with the character, and drew Snappsy in swim trunks, in a giant fur hat, as a cowboy. Usually when I show audiences this sketch, I say, “Here he is as George Washington.” On Tuesday, I said, “He’s Alexander Hamilton” and everyone gasped (it says a lot about Hamilton: An American Musical that all you have to do is say the name “Alexander Hamilton” and people get excited). A day later Eli said, “My name is Alligator Hamilton,” and so now it’s clear we should just get someone to stage an entire Hamilton the Alligator mashup play.
It was SO much fun to meet you and the family, Julie, and get my copy of Snappsy signed!!! You are just as awesome in real life as I knew you would be.
And thanks for the shoutout to Fenway and Hattie! Hope to see you again soon!
