It's my LJ

and I'll shamelessly promote what I want to!

First, shameless promotion of the other person variety.

My good friend hazelrah1 was diagnosed with ALS. She is an amazing, inspiring woman who has been very active in DragonCon/LOTR/Harry Potter fandoms over the years, and her equally awesome hubby, btp_aome came up with a great idea-get her cast as an extra in the upcoming "Hobbit" movie. To that end, he's started an online petition. Please go visit and sign it at www.projectfiver.com. It would mean a lot to me, and to her.

ETA: On the webpage, it says it's a secret. However, she was presented with the petition and then current signatures at her birthday dinner last Saturday night, so post away!


Second, happiest of birthdays to elvishtard and scotia_sammyjo! There are a lot of fabulous people on my f-list who have March birthdays.


Third, my 80's band is playing again! This time it's Friday, March 28, at Slapshots (soon to be known as Live at 575), in Woodstock. Slapshots is right off 575 (hence the new name) at the Towne Lake Parkway exit. Literally, if you get off the exit, it's right across the road from you. There is a $5 cover, but we'll be playing from 9:30 PM to 1:30 AM, so you'll definitely get your money's worth! :) Check our myspace page for more info: www.myspace.com/greatscottatlanta

Thus ends the shameless promotion...for now...
