FBO: 'Panhandle News from Melnik, Bulgaria'

A VIDEO FROM THE BULGARIA HEARTLAND!
This message about the panhandle was recorded during an FBO press trip to Bulgaria in 2006. The music featured is from Central Iowa's 'Roze Band.' The song, a new FBO theme, will be covered by The Cant/Cinderbiscuits at the 'panhandle show' on July 14.

FBO: 'Photo Corner in Sofia, Bulgaria'

The FBO is seriously considering opening a semi-permanent headquarters in Sofia, the capital of the EU's newest member, Bulgaria. It's interesting, though not a particularly historic city -- a few churches date centuries, but most of what you see on the tram-clanking streets dates from the early 20th century times or communist-era dorms.

A few things to the FBO representatives saw during a press-garnering trip in winter 2007:

FBO: 'September is Video Month!'

FBO Reaches the Black Sea: February 2006

Some Kansan doubters have speculated that the Failed Bands of Oklahoma publicity trips to places like Siberia, Romania, Bulgaria, Mexico, Vietnam and Delaware have been rigged. Not so.

This month, the FBO will roll out short videos documenting publicity work in various locales.

This one-minute short comes from a winter trip to Varna, Bulgaria -- a city fond of its Black Sea coastline, even during in February's snows. Enjoy:
