A Response to the Hon. Geneball (that's me!)

You may remember this, which I will summarize briefly here:

First, Ringo Starr had this to say.

So I sent him a Sharpie letter:
(for more Sharpie letters, see here, here, and here)

In an envelope with a microcentrifuge tube opener, a tool of the scientific trade:
Which included a blown up, badly pixelated "RINGO!" poster image which I created myself and a self-addressed, stamped envelope. This was sent out October 16, 2008.

Yesterday I got home, and in the mailbox found this:
It took me a bit to remember when the hell I'd SASEd, as I don't often apply for promotional materials. I opened it up, and this was inside:
My first ever Sharpie response!!! Please note the fine signature on my horribly pixelated, creased-to-the-point-of-removing-ink RINGO! picture. If it looks OK here, click on the image to get it full-sized(ish) and you'll see how bad the image is. Too much fun.

Do you realize that you had a mighty Beatle change his word? A word he put on Youtube?!?

That was amazing. I am so happy for you. I can't even think of anything witty to put here. Something right happened here today.
