A Light Through the Darkness

We raised over EIGHT THOUSAND DOLLARS for The Boom Effect! EIGHT THOUSAND!!!!

And I got four way cool auction items, all four of which I am super excited about. I got the following listings:

I now have NO excuse not to start working on the Horseman podcast, since I got not only this package for editing my first couple of episodes, but (and I'm so excited about this!) I got a custom theme song for the podcast!

Seriously, if you aren't listening to Alex White's The Gearheart yet, why not??? It's amazing. And he does the music to it. And he's going to do my theme. (yes, I've been squeeing for most of the evening. Now you know why.)

I also got this package, which I shall be handing off to my lovely SIL for the Pumpkin. Very cool, this.

And, the gem, the absolutely one thing that I saw and lusted after - I got.

Ladies and gentlemen, you know what a huge baseball fan I am. Tee Morris has a series that I adore, the Billibubb Baddings series, and the second book is called The Case of the Pitcher's Pendant. This is the gorgeous cover:




Do you see the shirt? JR Blackwell did this picture, and ladies and gents, that is a Chicago White Sox jersey. Which I won, today.

It will be signed by the lovely JR herself, and then it will come with me to Balticon, where I shall get Tee himself (and others, of course) to sign it as well.

This is truly geek heaven.
