well, the jig is up. i had a feeling it would be eventually, can't keep a secret on the internet.
as a good writer/reporter should, he (not Art Bell) discovered this. he let me know via email recently. he had used a drawing and information i had provided him in an article he wrote.
i don't think he was too upset, he just wanted to let me know he knew. he viewed it as "just a little ego gratification stoked by a few beers." which i must say is probably very accurate (except it might have been more than a "few" beers). point in case, isn't the whole blogging thing about ego gratification (written with tongue sort of in cheek)?
he claims to be a great fan of people that do hoaxes well (a category not including me) and he provided me with a great link. something for me to aspire to, i guess.
i guess i will pull the site down, some of Art's fans may be offended. there was never a malicious intent to my actions but some may not share my sense of humor. so, if you missed it, and are curious, pull me aside at the next dfwblogs happy hour and i will tell you all about a creature known as chilliwack.
