I will now (uncharacteristically) use about a billion exclamation points:

And you, my savvy readers, will note that I mentioned we were participating in the Washington Post contest. Well, we learned long ago that the Post (our hometown paper) does not seem to recognize our talents. So this year, we diversified...and entered our diorama into a few contests across the country.
We are so
Hillary and I are now faced with needing to deliver our diorama to the Chicago Tribune offices for judging/photographing. As it is our baby, we do not want to trust this to FedEx or UPS, but want to hand-deliver it. Which had us looking up plane fare in our excitement last night.
And you thought I was kidding about needing to get a life...

This is the best! Of course you must take a series of cabs, rental cars and gondolas to Chi-town carrying the Peep diorama. If you need assist on the ground in Chicago, I've got some, well, good peeps there who would be happy to assist. Right on!
Don't forget to handcuff yourself to the metal briefcase you're carrying it in.
It's all in the details.
Kath - Yes! And take pics at the Sears Tower, eating deep dish pizza, going to a Cubs game...Thanks for your enthusiasm. It really is a dream come true. >weep<
Moooooog - Totally. I already told my partner that we're doing that. The people in Chicago seem to have a much better sense of humor about all of this than the Post folk.
I hope you get to dish with Joan and Melissa on the red carpet!
Lacochran - I know. So many considerations now. What designer to wear? How to fly my hair/makeup person out there with me? How to stop living in this fantasy world I've created?
I sense the makings of a new classic in the "road movie" genre. Thelma and Louise meets Cannonball Run meets Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
There will be chases, intrigue, comedy, dancing, romance, pink marshmallow carnage, and a shirtless Brad Pitt.
Any excuse to go to Chicago is a good excuse.
Congrats!
Just broke my exclamation point key trying to post a comment. The world just got a little bit better for everyone. Hyperbole. I think not. You both ROCK
Straight Guy - Based on the logistics of us getting to Chicago at a reasonable price, it may indeed with me driving a car over a cliff.
Ms. Givens - No kidding -- I love that town. Even moreso now. They obviously have a real appreciation of fine art.
JenBC - Yay! I feel like I'm much more excited than I should be...but I don't care. YAY!!!!!!!
