Give or take a day or two
Right, it's the anniversary of me switching this beast over to Movable Type (note to self: update to newer version), and I expect there should be some sort of observance.
Too busy this weekend to do anything, between hanging out with Neo and, um, puppy-sitting on Saturday night. Long story.
Neo also presented me with a large, plush Afro Ken, an, um, gift from her and Garrity. I'm trying to figure out how I can possibly repay them for this kindness.
Any road up, I figured I could make a list of all the fansite titles I've stuck on the blog over the past almost-year I've been doing the things. Except, of course, that I don't remember all of them, and actually keeping a list would have required, like, forethought and planning.
And since I've now spent entirely too long chatting on IM with Heather and Michelle rather than making a list of the ones I do recall, I'm going to ask that those with better memories toss 'em in the comments.
I'd say there was a very special reward for the person who comes up with the most, but I suppose I should keep the Afro Ken for at least a while. . .
Comments
OK just to get started.
1. Sherman Alexie
2. Octavia Butler
3. Afro Ken was one right?
I'll think of more in a bit.

Don't think I gave it over to Afro Ken, but there was the mercifully short-lived Mega Super Happy Fun Sanrio & Neopets Fansite. . .
Kris Dresen was fairly recent. I think Meryn Cadell was the first of 'em.
And I think kd was honored twice.
Ok, "honored" may not be the right term.

A Maitreya Buddha fansite
A Harold's Chicken Shack fansite

Glad you liked it, luv. Always good to have totemic critters to look after us.
Looking forward to that repayment.
Oh, and I'm moving in two weeks.
No, you may not have my forwarding address.

Don't forget the Branford Marsalis fansite. I never did mention that yes, to answer your question, I am the proud owner of a Buckshot LeFonque CD...

Wow, what a perfect way to make sure that Afro Ken lives on. & on. & on. It's the gift that keeps getting given...
Sorry about the puppy-sitting, though, that got WAY out of hand. To make up for it, you should hit Ry up for lots of good food. & me too [no, the 1/2 English muffin don't count].

Thanks, folks. MaryMarubixCube, you'd think I'd remember Harold's, seeing as I'm still getting hits on searches for that.
RedHeadDread, you've confirmed (along with a couple emails I got when I asked) that, in fact, I'm the only person who doesn't have a Buckshot LeFonque cd. My suckiness knows no bounds.
Garrity, I assure you that for your very thoughtful gift, I'll make every effort to track you down no matter where you hide.
Neo, Tyson was perfectly well behaved the entire evening. And that part of the morning before you kids got back. 'sides, I finally got to see Animatrix, so I ain't complaining.
William, you remembered Ukyo? No one ever remembers Ukyo, especially not her fiance. . .
Lessee, Chris Bridges, Jae Ha Kim, and I'd swear there was one with Heather that I just can't remember.

Hm. What about Xena Nicosia?
And if you try to track me down, all you'll fand is false address after false address filled with yet more horrifying Sanrio-type merchandise. How many Hello Kitty vibrators do you really *want*?

Don't threaten him with HK vibrators unless you mean it. Heather auctions those babies off as fundraising perks.

Terrence Trent D'arby was up there once, right?
Posted by: ronn | June 21, 2003 4:14 PM
. . . what is wrong with my life that I'm threatened with Hello, Kitty vibrators?
And I heard they weren't that good, anyway. Now, there was this purple thing Heather got to review from Good Vibrations that looked. . .
Just answered my own question, didn't I?
Hanne, no comments from the transexual peanut gallery.
Ronn, um, that's a good question. I don't think so, but there was something that could have been confused with him, or the title of his cd, or something.

Hey, you want me to burn you a copy so you can be down with the cool kids? It's the least I can do for a blogger I enjoy reading. Email me, and it can be arranged.

I would just like to note that that "transexual peanut gallery" dig is so 'inside jokery' and will be lost to the masses.
And that it has given me a fit of the giggles.
