I have lived in Taos, New Mexico for 2 years. Andy K. is here and it doesn't seem to be the most important kept secret locally... people just seem to respect that all men have their reasons for living private lives. I didn't know he had any kind of following until I heard people talking about him after leaving the co-op and google searched his name. I don't see what the big deal is. Peace :)

Hi again, so now you guys have given me a new hobby. I feel like a private dectective... so I snooped a bit and asked a few questions... heres what I've heard- according to two people (I know them fairly well on friendly terms so I wont say their names) that both donate time to the co-op... its him, he doesnt talk to anyone and hes pretty wierd all around, but supposedly its definately him. I also found out my friends think hes hooked up with the llama foundation... a new age cult here, they keep to themselves and these are real deal old hippie types (very common here) im going to talk to the only person i know who grew up here whose mom is with the llama people and ask if hes ever heard of him.. but I dont know what else to do. I'll try to help you guys any way I can. I won't lie, this is fun. Take care, Patrick 007

Hi There... Agent Patrick 007 reporting in today. I've asked what few friends i have around here who have lived here for more than a couple years, this is a transient town... ski bums like myself, young hippies, you get the picture. Well anyway, a friend of mine who works at the taos cow which is an organic ice cream place near the mountain says she has heard that Andy Kaufman goes there, she herself has never seen him nor really knows who he is other than the guy from Taxi(i really didn't either until a week ago) but she has heard from people of him being somewhat of a regular... but please take this face value.. this girls a bit of a whacko. You have to understand that Taos is kinda wierd in that theres a lot of land and little communities here, you can disappear if you really want to... people live off P.O Boxes.. not mailing addresses. Julia Roberts and Mel Gibson live here.. I know where they live, but have never seen them. My friend says theres been an open mic night at the Taos Inn for years, I myself have never gone. Hope this helps! Take care, Patrick
