The Neon Man and Me
| "This show was funny and I loved the beach ball story. I liked hearing the stories about his friend Mark. It's kinda sad, but you feel good that you can hear about their lives. I just don't know what neon is. That's the only thing I didn't like." - Amanda age 8 more reviews |

In 2004, Slash Coleman's best friend, Mark Jamison,
(a gifted neon artist from Roanoke , Virginia) died
after he was blown into a power line while hanging a
neon sign. A month after his death, Jamison's
girlfriend discovered she was pregnant. His tragic,
early death shocked and saddened the entire
community.
As a care package to the Jamison family, Coleman
created what has been called, “a joyous tribute to
friendship.”
