Oh yeah…I forgot to post this earlier.
I’m famous. Or rather…someone who is famous knows me. Or…uh, someone who is famous read an email from me and decided to blog about me.
One of our favourite authors is Neil Gaiman (of Sandman and GoodOmens fame). I’ve been a rabid addict of his blog for the last 6 months or so. He frequently answers questions from his fans in his blog. Friday, after wiping the syrup out of McKay’s curls, I decided it was time to try to find him a kid’s barber here. A few google search for “Vancouver Kids Barber” Nuthing. Tried “Vancouver First haircut”. And there it was, third link down (dan says it’s on page two now). Neils blog. Talk about odd. Since he posts many quirky things on his blog, I felt the need to tell him.
And that’s how I am now famous. Autographs by appointment only please.

But, since he’s is one of my living heros please read the following about playing a joke, and getting traffic for his friend Penn from Penn and Teller. “I’d like to ask a small favour of those of you who have read down this far. Would anyone reading this, anyone with a blog or a website that is, mind linking to the last post — http://www.neilgaiman.com/journal/2007/02/and-in-time-it-took-to-say-that-neil.html — with the link text Penn Jillette? Given Penn’s recent rant about the power and ubiquity of this blog on his radio show, I’d like to mess with his head just a little and see if we can actually google-bomb it so that that entry shows in the top few entries if you google Penn’s name.
