Phoebe: 3...2...1... READY OR NOT HERE I COME! You're TERRIBLE at hiding. Marigold: To conceal my beauty would be a travesty.
okay, I’m back from the “The Last Unicorn” event, and had one hell of a time. First, I did get to meet Dana and she turned out to be just as nice as you could figure she is, if not nicer. I got a poster that features Marigold and Almathea (the aforementioned Last Unicorn" nose-to-nose, signed by both Dana and Peter Beagle (what a rush!), met tons of unicorn fans who mostly didn’t know about Heavenly Nostrils (they do now, you betcha), learned several things about HN, including the fact that newspaper syndication starts Real Soon Now (yes, real newspapers!), and that the collection will be available next year. Good news all around! There was other good news that I can’t share (sorry), too.I figure that there were three red-letter happenings today. First, I got to meet two of my bona-fide comic goddesses (Dana and Shaenon K. Garrity), got to watch a super-HD version of The Last Unicorn (watch for it to show up near you – it’s totally worth it) with Peter Beagle himself, and got a membership in the Museum of Cartoon Art in SF., absolutely worth it if you’re in the area. I’m pleased and exhausted, in that order.
