The last time I checked in with Patrick Jackson, creator of the Potato Pals series, I was very excited about an upcoming Japan tour by U2, which unfortunately was subsequently postponed. Well, Patrick has a new video up on youTube, and U2 finally made it to Tokyo. I realize I'm stretching to connect the two, but I wanted to write about both of them!
We'll start with Patrick as the opening act and then U2 will follow tomorrow. This video features exclusive behind-the-scenes footage of the Potato Pals world tour set to "Good Friends", one of the 6 great songs accompanying the books in the series, which I highly recommend for young learners.
Hi Devon! Thanks for the mention. It's an honour to appear in the same paragraph as Bono. Actually I used to work for him in a transvestite restaurant he owned in Dublin in a previous life! No, I wasn't the transvestite! I have put together a 'video' of the actual pages from 'Good Friends' which you may want to use instead.

Hope you're well (of course you are!) Pip pip, PJ
