No Filter with Chris Ballew

Full Episode description

Oh hey, everybody, Count Vacula here! It’s great to see you again!

I hope you’ve been having fun practicing everything we’re learning about how to meet new people—I know I sure have. And this week I got to use my friend-making skills with a very interesting and talented person named Chris Ballew!

Chris does really cool drawings, but he’s mainly a musician. Your grown-up might know him from his band Presidents of the United States of America, or you and your family might have listened to one of the nineteen Caspar Babypants albums he’s recorded! He even wrote a terrific “Five Questions” theme song for my show, which you’ll hear in this episode!

Chris told me all about his imaginary childhood friend Mr. Shadow (he also made up a great story about how shadows get fat!), and the cool things he’d make out of cardboard, and how being creative makes him feel really happy. Chris and I both love making jokes, and being kind, and we had a really fun time getting to know each other. I think you’ll like meeting him, too!

I’ll be back in a couple of weeks with a new No Filter, but in the meantime, I’d love to get to know YOU a little better! You can write me anytime at kind@imagineneighborhood.org, and just tell me about yourself, or share a drawing, or let me know—how were you kind today?

See you soon!

Your pal,

Vac
