For a week I couldn't wait for today. Not because it was Leap Day (which is truly uber cool), but because it was the day when I would get my very cool piece of memorabilia that I can now share with you all. I didn't want to mention it before because it was one of those things where I feared that if I said anything about it that it wouldn't happen. How wrong I was! :D

Back in January, I went to LACMA with

scififreak and

hystericblue42. When

scififreak and I were near

hystericblue42's place, I saw a banner for Atlanta! This I thought was rather crazy, considering the play had ended over two weeks prior. The fact that it would be out for so long had me thinking that maybe they didn't really need it...but I sure did. :D I called them the next day and was put in touch with their marketing coordinator, Ivy. I left a message and a good two hours later I got a call back from her! She was excited about my excitement and love for the play and said I could have a banner when they took them down. I also secured a banner for

brokenbacktango. I didn't hear anything from Ivy for weeks and decided to call last week. So, as of last Friday, I knew

brokenbacktango and I would be going to the Geffen today and pick up the banners! We both would have to sign a contract (no selling it, no defacing it in public (though autographs don't count! I asked! LOL), and the knowledge that this was a special case, and next time might be different. What astounded me was the price of the banner, which I won't disclose, but wow. I had no idea how much these things cost! Even with the contract in my Inbox, I still thought something could fall through, like this was too good to be true. But it worked perfectly and without any hitch (except for traffic there and back, ouch!) Ivy was very sweet in person, too, very personable. Kudos and thank yous to Adrian and Marcus Hammon for the play, again (wooo!), to the Geffen, and to Ivy! I am in mad love with the Geffen now. Great people, great work. :D

Second thing, when I got home from the excursion, I got a note from Erin of the DSC about Wizard World. I hadn't even given it any thought; however, I was pondering about general cons lately and how the last couple I've wanted to go to, I wasn't able to because of money situations. :( It seems that Milo will be at Wizard World LA this year. And my immediate reaction? Bouncing to the Wizard World site and buy a ticket. *L* I didn't, though. I'm going to check if it's the same price at the door. I would rather buy a 25 dollar ticket without the three dollar processing fee. I'm also curious if there is a package with Milo like there is with Summer: a signed photo for 15 bucks. Not bad at all! But I think Milo would be more. I just...really want a confirmation on meeting him. *L* If I have to pay for it, I will.

I just checked to see if I made a post on February 29, 2004, and it seems I did! Yay. I was talking about The Oscars. I wasn't even a LotR fan, but I support the genre things. :D Hehe. I'm now thinking about you,

sarumann.

And off to bed now. Working the week through...with inventory. I'll be back on Monday. LOL
