JEWISH COOL: TALES FROM APPALACHIA

I just came across a really "cool" essay called Jewish Cool: Tales From Appalachia from the Sh'ma website.  Its by Erika Meitner, a poet and faculty member at Virginia Tech.

I found myself doing alot of head bobbing agreement while reading this.  Almost makes me want to go out and get a Jewish tattoo or make a beaded she-pa head covering.  Almost.

By the way - my cafepress store (see link upper right hand corner of blog) got some good search results from a search for Alien Peace Sign.  I still remain hopeful that I can make a buck from these gorgeous high quality t-shirts with original art.  Zeb the alien throwing the peace sign --- what could be more cool than that?
