Tom Farley Jr., Chris Farley's older brother has co-authored a book, "The Chris Farley Show". This book is a deeply moving meditation on what it means to share yourself with the world as an actor and comedian. Chris Farley was a gifted and kindhearted man who lived to spread happiness in the world, only to be torn apart by the demons inside him. Tom Farley is president and managing director of the Chris Farley Foundation, which educates people about substance abuse and addiction. He lives in Madison.

Joe Castillo's latest adventure in creative expression is something called SAND ART, drawing in sand on a light table, he is able to create powerful, fluid illustrations for large audiences with an overhead video camera projected on a large screen. His presentations have been seen by thousands of people, leaving them with a sense of awe. He is an artist, author and storyteller with a passion for promoting the visual arts as a way of touching the heart. "Art" he often says, "is the finger of God that touches the soul." He has created a series of live "ArtStory" presentations that use intricately crafted illustrations to teach Biblical truth. His latest artistic venture called "SandStory", is a live-art presentation performed to music and projected for a stunning inspirational effect.
