<b>Secret Agent 23 Skidoo</b>!!! <a href="http://secretagent23skidoo.com/">Secret Agent 23 Skidoo</a> is a Grammy winning, internationally touring, purple velvet tuxedo wearing family funk phenomenon. Combining the positive, primal power of hip hop with the
surreal storytelling of science fiction, 23 Skidoo has concocted a potent potion that wows family crowds across the planet. Look for PSA’s, music & more to promote summer reading from Skidoo this Spring.<o:p></o:p></p>
