Very Important Update
The Semi-Important
I'm going to be in Seattle for one night on Nov. 13th. I'll be attending the premiere of Urbanworld-- the film I co-produced. I'll be accompanied by my lovely sister and plan on meeting up with several of my Seattle homies. I fly in at 2pm and fly out at noon the next day... if you'd like to visit me, please let me know ASAP. Since there's only one me and I won't have a car... I think I'll station myself at my favorite places and have people come visit me.
I'm really looking forward to it. I miss many people and places in Seattle. I've had a few dreams now in which I simply walk down Pine street on Capitol Hill and look at the windows of my favorite stores, or wave to the friendly folks I knew there.
The More Important
This last week has been one of the most difficult ones in my entire life... but not for the obvious "Bush Won" reason (although that was a kick in the gut). I can't say why, either. It's hard to ask for understanding from people if you can't explain why you need it... but that's exactly what I need from everyone right now. But my sister's visit to Baltimore couldn't come at a better time, and my trip out west will help me recover.
The Most Important
I called up Terry, the tragically former owner of Hopkin Green Frog. His mom answered. She already knew about the website... apparently some people knew the story well enough to know it was originally from Seattle. She didn't seem angry. She wanted to know if I had put lostfrog.org up, but I explained that I had not. I explained that I had found the flyer and given it to a friend, and he posted a scan of it for a few friends. We never planned on it becoming a website, or having 421 hits on Google. She seemed very nice. I asked if Terry has a new frog, and she told me that he does. And on top of having a new frog, he also has a new frog puppet.
I told her that there's a lot of people out there that think Terry is special, and wish him the very best. She honestly seemed flattered by this, and said "Why, God Bless you!" (She also said "Such language!" when I used "ass" as in, "I hope this hasn't become a pain in your -") She was very polite, and I'm sure a good mom to Terry.
So rest well, ye Internet. Terry has a frog again.
