Having problems with message search?
Well, thanks for your help. I was looking for an email address. I guess there is no way to send a email message, but I just had a comment I wanted to get across-no need to write an actual letter.
It is in reference to these t-shirts and his marketing himself in relation to this South Park show. I realize that he may not mind joking around about himself, and also finds it great that he has attracted a younger audience that he didn't expect. But the source of it is really lousy. I don't know if he realizes that they used this cartoon of him to poke fun at him, that the show is filled with 8th grade toilet humor (literally, flatulence, crap and the like), that characters (little kids) in the show are regularly killed off, electricuted and burned and that the initial cartoon that set off the series "the spirit of christmas" is horribly disrespectful. It is certainly a nice gesture to create t-shirts and sell them for a charity, but
trust me, this marketing in association with this show is well beneath him and very embarrassing. I am disturbed to find out that even his coach Linda Leaver is in on this. Please Brian stop. What does he need teenage fans for if all they think of him as being is some foppy cartoon character? Doesn't he want to win fans with his skating? He has gone through a long career being well know for his skating and that alone. He has managed to escape being notorious or a joke, in a country where figure skaters run a very fine line between athletic greats and mockery.
It is purely constructive criticism. I have been a fan of Brian and his 'skating' for many years, and still am. That is why I care.
If any of you folks are within earshot of either Brian or his coach, I would appreciate this message getting passed along.
Thank you.

Jennifer,
There’s not an email address, but here’s the fan club mailing address:
Brian Boitano Fan Club
101 First Street Suite 370
Los Altos, CA 94022
Also, on a different subject.......Brian’s blog from yesterday had a link to his website (www.brianboitano.com) and a graphic of a shirt he is selling to raise money for Youth Skate. The website doesn’t really have anything on it but there’s a link to Café Press where you can view and purchase the shirts. I’ve never seen the shirts (or a link to buy them before). I wonder how long he’s been selling those to support Youth Skate?

Hello all,
Thoroughly enjoying the Olympics! Just wondering if there was an email address through which I could send a message to Brian or to his coach/agent Linda Leaver. Is there a fan address or something?
Any help is great.
Thanks,
Jennifer
