I would kind of like to take a moment to post this email my dad wrote to Dan Vado [of Slave Labor fame] shortly after we got back from NYCC, that I just found hiding in his 'sent' folder. I was looking for my english essay to make sure I didn't send it to the wrong address, like a moron. Then I realized... with earthlink, you actually have to check some box to keep a copy in the sent folder. Great job, earthlink. way to not be HALF as convenient as Yahoo. Even though I was using his email in the first place because Yahoo was being horrible. BUT I DIGRESS. I hope this gives you a chuckle.
Dear Mr. Vado - I mean, hey, Dan - can I call you Dan? OK, now I'm wasting
your time, sorry. First off, I wanted to tell you how much we enjoyed meeting you
and Jhonen at the NY Comicon ( We were the insane fans who flew out from Oakland,
CA for no other reason ). My daughter and her three friends whom I was chaperoning
that weekend thoroughly enjoyed stalking Jhonen all weekend and getting multiple
audiences, pictures, and autographs with him - all framed and ready to be enshrined
in our home - thank you, thank you.
Now, the questions - at the SLG booth, you had a large JTHM poster hanging
on the wall which we all coveted. Please tell us you're going to reprint that
one, as well as the other Johnny posters that are out of stock. Are you? Please?
No, really, please? Awww, come on - I could take at least a half dozen of each off
your hands right now ( I know, big whoop, right? ).
Anyhoo, thanks for putting out all the great stuff you do - I hope you carry
on for a long time to come, and if my daughter has anything to say about it, we'll
probably be seeing you in San Diego.
Oh yeah - I find it interesting that all your printing is done in Canada.
My parents are both Canadian, so I know that all things Canadian are superior. Do
you do that to avoid Homeland Security?
Your devoted slaves,
Tim and Leyla Parker Yeah, he's that awesome... or creepy. You decide.
P.S.
Why, yes, my font IS purple and green because I can't stop thinking about the Joker. However did you guess?
