There's another one for the fire!

My dear friend [livejournal.com profile] sudrin is at Dragon*Con this weekend with the lovely [livejournal.com profile] frogdiva. They are seeing lots of famous people and taking many fun pics. They got to see John Schnieder, Leonard Nimoy, and one of the Mythbuster guys. Tonya even got an awesome pic of Tom Felton. I know, right? Luckily he did not appear to have the Elder Wand in his possession.

I asked [livejournal.com profile] sudrin to get me one of these. They do have them at the website, I later learned. But I wanted one that Voltaire actually touched. I know, I'm ridiculous like that. Having his assistant or PR person send me something just wasn't my preferred end result. So...Dave was kind enough to spend some of his valuable Dragon*Con time on something I wanted. Sweet, no?

Not only did Dave get me my pressie, but he was kind enough to steal Voltaire's soul just for me:



It appears that he is walking around the Con, doing whatever and talking to fans. But if you look really closely at this pic, it's pretty obvious that he's thinking about me and hoping I can make it to The Vampire Ball. That, or I'm totally on the brink of some kind of psychotic break. Time will tell, I guess. ;-]

Anyway, I finally found the elusive remix of "The Man Upstairs" which led to me making my first music download purchase from Amazon. You have to also install some kind of special Amazon program so the files will go to your iTunes or something. It was free and only took a second, but still, I say Hmmm...
Sadly, I don't love the "Heavy Drama remix." They just sort of gothed it up a bunch with a Pink Floydesque overlay. Frankly it feels like it's trying too hard and it's offputting. It's not even longer, which I understand those long dance mixes because they are...well, great for dancing. Ultimately, it was only 99 cents and I was glad to find it.

Still no word in re: The Vampire Ball. Frown and Fie.
