Posted a new entry — I know! — over at my 24/7 blog on collecting autographs through the mail, with examples.

I was inspired after receiving a Stephen Colbert autograph, a mere 23 months after I sent in my request. Never give up, autograph hunters! Never surrender!

Which is kinda ironic because I had given up sending out autograph requests, but now I kinda want to start again. Also a post office within range finally started carrying International Reply Coupons again after months of postal workers assuring me (despite what their website says) that they weren't carrying them any more, which means I can start haranguing Doctor Who people now. Geronimo!

Sad I missed requesting Dollhouse autographs while they were all in one place, and I suspect after the Emmy win Jim Parsons is going to be tougher to get now. Ah, what the hell, Sheldon would try it.

Along with all the other wondrous things to see at Dragon*Con in Atlanta, GA, this weekend — an amazing collection of stars, writers, artists, musicians, and a few zillion people just as passionate as you are about the same things you love — Marian Call is putting on a concert and wants you there!

Marian performs an intimate show at a private warehouse space in Atlanta the weekend of Dragon*Con, at 236 Marray Drive, Atlanta, GA 30341. Tickets are $15, $10 for students, seniors, military, disabled, or starving artist (honor system). Please purchase the appropriate ticket. In order to increase capacity, some strapping able-bodied fans may be asked to enjoy standing room; be kind and plan to take turns or leave seats for those who need them.

The concert is at 8 p.m., Friday night, Sept. 3, at The Warehouse Therapy Band Space, and tickets are available at her website (at the top).

Marian also will be making other appearances in the area this weekend, check her site for details.
