The 8th Doctor episodes are now airing on BBC7. How cool is that? BBC7 has a cool link where #8 disses #9. (I love #9, but I always get a kick out of how different incarnations react to each other).
Speaking of cool, work had asked me to dress up as a wizard in order to work our booth at the Arizona Book Festival. Because the festival was on April Fool's Day, they assurred me that it was no joke. So, thanks to some help from Jayson, Kim, and Wayne, I had a full wizard's outfit for the event. And was it ever fun! All sorts of people came and commented on the costume, and many people even wanted their pictures taken with me! Young and old, families and people by themselves flocked for photographs. Others pulled out their cell phones and snuck pictures of me by myself from afar. Some kids wanted to greet me, others were shy, and still others wanted to know why I was dressed as a wizard.
And it was a success for our booth. We were able to give out a slew of free plastic bags with our logo, which could eventually be seen in the majority of festival attendees hands. We also had increased foot traffic, and sold several walking staves, including the shepard's crook I had been using. Now they're talking of using me for more events. So I guess I should look into getting my own costume. Although, I'm not sure that any of our other events are wizard friendly...
Well, back to the grind stone. I just wanted to brag. I had so much fun, and the crazy thing was that I was paid to do it!!!
Thanks to Sheila for the quiz:
Mach 1? Child's play. Two times the speed of light? Now that might be a challenge. You are the Flash, and you are the fastest man alive, if not fastest being in the universe.

Sounds like fun! My most recent stint as a wizard was also fun but I didn't get paid for it. I did, however, feel very goofy. Does that count?
I'd have thought that you'd feel goofier in the clown wig. ;^P
Of course your costume counts! Your wizard outfit is like a cross between a HP wizard and Tom Baker's Dr. Who. As I don't have a pic, just imagine my wizard as a cross between a Franciscan monk and the wizard character from Six Flags (pre-WB ownership). I don't know if that helps at all, though.
