Have a Party with J.P.!

As some of you know, J.P. will do appearances for private parties (and if you want to shock and delight a 40 year old patches pal, have J.P. drop by their birthday party ... it'll make them feel a lot younger!!) For price and availability, email J.P. directly at JPPatches@JPPatches.com and make sure you include your phone number!

PSSSSST!

Hey Patches Pals … Over Here …

Well ... It was bound to happen. J.P. and Gertrude were practicing an awe-inspiring Pas de deux when an ill-placed banana peel brought their terpsichorean ambitions to an untimely end. J.P. sustained a particularly painful hangnail and Gertrude broke her … his … hip.

You can email your Good Wishes to Gertrude/Bob Newman by clicking here.

There's always next year.

Chris ... er ... J.P. was featured on KING-TV's Evening Magazine on March 16, 2006.

"Who, when he saw the first sand or ashes, by a casual intenseness of heat, melted into a metalline form, rugged with excrescences, and clouded with impurities, would have imagined, that in this shapeless mass would turn into smething useful like a glass? Neat huh? I mean without glasses we couldn't see or have anything to put Kool-Aid in!
