The Baltimore City Paper named J.P. Fenyo the Best Free Advice
Man in their 10th Annual Best of Baltimore in September, 1993.

After that The Original New York City Free Advice Man seized
being open to the media, which had shown no intention to right past
wrongs, in spite of several efforts to inform the media about this
injustice.  

A year later, by coincidence on the 4th of July, 1994, The Free
Advice Man left Baltimore and the U.S. to live and work in Budapest,
Hungary, where he hoped to start a new chapter in his life.

It was clear to The Free Advice Man that even though he had given
great advice to thousands of people, only a few of whom were
dissatisfied, and had helped save several dozen people from suicide or
from becoming murderers and thieves, that the majority of the
American mass media were not truly interested in helping create an
intellectual super-hero whose deep philosophical ideas about infinity,
life, death, existence, nature, politics might help improve American
society and its image abroad!

His life in Budapest from 1994 to 2002 was very exciting, interesting,
full of controversy and some major intellectual achievements.

Now he has been back in the States since 2003 and is about to launch
an even more successful chapter in his life! ( There are rumors that a
"Patch Adams" style true-story feature film will be made about him!)

The Free Advice Man has influenced many famous and influential
people in his life so far, such as George Soros, Woody Allen, Isaac
Asimov, Ray Bradbury, President Bill Clinton, Ted Turner, Andy
Warhol, Jean Michel Basquiat, Quentin Crisp, Gordon M. T.
Summer (Sting), and many others....
