    Hi Trevelyan,

    I apologize for the inconvenience. I can assure you that we passed your info along to the partner for fulfillment and in turn they reached out to the local venues to secure tickets.  Unfortunately, it looked like the venue was unable to fulfill your prizing for one reason or another.  We're looking further into the issue and we'll let you know when  we find out what happened.

    Best,

On 11/9/2011 10:45 AM, I Talked to Claire Gendel (GetGlue):
    I talked with her on the phone about Another Prize I had won, and mentioned my daughters predicament. and she asked me to email her ALL the information above which I did...

    Ummm... Hello. You sent me an email about me winning Mayday Parade concert tickets, I sent in the info you said I needed to give you guys to get the tickets and on the day of the concert I called the House Of Blues to confirm \ and they said they didn't have any info on me going!!!! I sent you guys yet ANOTHER email and you sent me a response saying you would look into it at the beginning of the month and now it's Thanksgiving and still nothing from you guys. So just wondering if I was ever going to get a reason on why I didn't get to go to the concert? I know I can't go now but still I would like SOMETHING since I didn't get to go!

    The following is the conversation that has been 1/2 taking place... The prize was awarded to my Daughter Nerdz Rule (My Daughter) for sake of picking the tickets up at will call, I informed my daughter to give her mothers name, Trevelyan. A little more information about what else transpired on our end... about 1 week before the show, we called the Anaheim House of Blues to check on the tickets and they said they will not have a will call list for promotional tickets until the day of the show, so we called back the day of the show and they did not have any record of tickets under my wife's name or Nerdz Rule (My Daughter)'s...

    My daughter was looking forward to going to the concert for the whole month and was in tears when I informed her that due to some error she was not going to be able to go because there were no tickets for her...

    I have tried to teach her to be patient with getting responses, however you can plainly see the giant gaps in responses from you... She is 14 this year and taking this very well for her age. I hate for her to honestly learn the life lesson than sometimes you get have to bend over and take it. I have already told her to not expect much in the way of compensating for the error, and as such she has simply asked for an explanation, and no one seems to be able to give her that...

    In my opinion you honestly owe her a lot more, as she still checks in, promotes your site, and earns her stickers. Disregarding the fact that she never got the prize she was "promised".

    (I also added a link to my Blog informing them how I have tried to get a job as a designer with them here, but removed for sake of breavity)

    Hi Trevelyan,
    Our sincere apologies for the delay here. I've spoke to House of Blues and they would like to offer you tickets to another show. Is there one you really want to see (aside from New Years Eve)?

Thanks to Cathy Mitchell Celebrity Infomercial Hostess for her generous Donation that put us over the top :)
If you have heard of the GT Express 101 (here is the GT Express Recipe Club featuring Cathy) Cathy is the Red Head Infomercial Queen, and she is a family friend of my wife Michelle...

I am in need of a small financial help, I managed to forget to pay our storage unit, they will be cutting the lock off on Tuesday November 29th 2011, and selling our stuff the following Friday, although there is nothing overly valuable in there the kids do have some sentimentally valuable items... Also my Pirate Garb is in there as well a lot of the family's Winter Clothing...

We are trying to raise $400 we have about $175 of our own money going towards this meaning we need to raise another $225 to pay this off... and we need to get it by Sunday November 27th so I can get it transferred to the bank account then over to them over to them....

If it is not paid before they cut the lock it will cost an additional $150 for the lock cutting and inventory for sale of the items (laughably they just look in from the door and note what they see, and they charge $150 for that?)

I will keep everyone apprised of how much money has been raised... and I know how difficult times are for everyone, but that is why we have been unable to pay the storage... as soon as it is paid all the stuff is going to be removed from storage...

Goal: $225

Total So Far: $225

Left to Raise: $0

ALL of those that Donate will receive a Stickers by SprayPaint sticker, even if you have already got one before, I will also Work with each of you to create a Personalized Sticker in High Quality that you can print or have printed, to use as you see fit it will not carry the SBS "Watermark" unless you want it to...  That just my way of saying Thank you to those that have been kind enough to help me out in this time of need...

Thank you for the help during this holiday season.

And as I usually use comedy to mask my pain... We really don't want our stuff to be the next sticker for Storage Wars :P

Puff the Magic Dragon

The story of Puff the Magic Dragon, and his friend Jackie Paper, is about the loss of innocence as children grow up. It has no other references, neither good or bad, it is not about the Vietnam Helicopter, it is not about the 60's drug use, it is about a boy and his imaginary friend Puff and how as we all grow up we lose touch with our youthful imagination and innocence. All the other supposed meanings to the song and cartoon show are proof of the true nature of the story. As adults we always try to read into everything... Why can't we all just remember how things used to be... simple, and read it for what its worth, exactly what it is, not what we want or think it should be.

The lyrics for "Puff, the Magic Dragon" were based on a 1959 poem by Leonard Lipton, a 19-year-old Cornell University student. Lipton was inspired by an Ogden Nash poem titled "Custard the Dragon", about a "realio, trulio little pet dragon. I am posting the lyrics as sung by Peter Yarrow, Paul Stookey and Mary Travers (better known as Peter, Paul, and Mary)

Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee,
Little Jackie paper loved that rascal puff,
And brought him strings and sealing wax and other fancy stuff. oh

Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee,
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee.

Together they would travel on a boat with billowed sail
Jackie kept a lookout perched on puffs gigantic tail,
Noble kings and princes would bow whenever they came,
Pirate ships would lower their flag when puff roared out his name. oh!

Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee,
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee.

A dragon lives forever but not so little girls and boys
Painted wings and giant rings make way for other toys.
One grey night it happened, Jackie paper came no more
And puff that mighty dragon, he ceased his fearless roar.

His head was bent in sorrow, green scales fell like rain,
Puff no longer went to play along the cherry lane.
Without his life-long friend, puff could not be brave,
So puff that mighty dragon sadly slipped into his cave. oh!

Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee,
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee.

Lego Harry Potter Years 5-7 Hogwarts Map

It is not 100% direction accurate outside of the castle walls however for the rooms inside the Castle I made them Direction Accurate as far as how you enter and exit rooms... This map will help you to locate all locations of the castle for exploration and collection hunting... I may update the map later with notation as to what should be in each area for collections :)

Stop the Censorship!

Today, the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate, will be hearing about PIPA (PROTECT IP Act - Protect Intellectual Property Act) and SOPA (Stop Online Piracy Act) both of which are aimed to Stop the use of others Intellectual Property (here after referred to IP), this is a full use of IP it is aimed to not only stop the people who use it for monetary gain, but also to stop even "Fair Use" like my stickers. They allow the government to censor websites on behalf of the "Rights" holder. It gives the government TO MUCH CONTROL.

The DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act) was created to protect 'service providers' (Google, Twitter, Facebook, Foursquare, GetGlue, Blogger, ect...) by providing them 'Safe Harbor'. 'Safe Harbor' means that they are not responsible for what the general public posts to their servers so long as they put forth an effort to speedily remove content which infringes copyrights, once the provider has been notified of the content. Usually the provider will contact the user and pass the take down notice to them, and if the user does not take the infringing content down the provider will assist and take down the content, sometimes taking the users account as well. This system makes the provider responsible for its users, but only if the provider fails to follow the guidelines and take down content when requested.

The PIPA and SOPA will give the government the right to step up and say because someone posted a link in the comments on my blog to infringing content, my site will be blocked and no one may visit my site, and then anyone who has a link to my site that does not take it off within a few hours will also get their site blocked, because they are linking to a infringing site. at the same time Blogger will be blocked because my site resides on their servers, and anyone who points a link to blogger will also be required to remove their links of b e blocked as well...

Do you think any site Facebook, Twitter, GetGlue or Google is going to risk losing their whole site over 1 or 2 users, HELL NO they will either close their site (take their money and run) or they will change their model to only allow content that has been either fully checked to not include infringing content or link to any infringing content, which means they have to expend more money to hire people to check the content after a screening bot dumps anything that even remotely looks infringing (like my stickers).

Protecting copyrights is fair and just goal, I just think the government is going about it the wrong way. All these acts will do is send the internet back into the dark ages, if not make it extinct here in America...
