Yeppers! I just got back from the Vesuvius Post Office where a little package from Variety has been waiting for me.
As I carried the package back to the house, I felt like I was a little kid again, having just received some plastic bauble from the Johnson C. Smith Company ordered from the back of a Fantastic Four comic book.
I very carfully ripped away the large manilla envelope covering, which had been torn in several places during its coast-to-coast journey. Fortunately, none of the magazines inside had been damaged.
I began flipping through the pages of the magazine on top... past pages of articles and other full-page ads for television shows and movies. Finally, I arrived at page 19.
And there it was. And it was beautiful.
David... Daily Variety is NOT printed on newsprint, but rather on a thin glossy magazine stock. Nowhere near as heavy as traditional magazine stock, but much less absorbent than newsprint. While the colors appears a trifle muted (I think that just comes from looking at it only on the computer screen for almost a year), they were still vibrant, and the ad just leaped out at you as you turned the page. It is impossible to miss.
Also, David, I'd class the quality of that ad right alongside the HBO and film studio ads that accompany it in that issue.
I tell you, I damn near wept. What a wonderful birthday present.
Folks, we've made a small "kerplunk" in the Hollywood puddle. Now lets keep those ripples spreading further with our letters and postcards.
Here are the links for the pre-written letters Dawg has crafted just for this campaign:

A lot of people have put up a lot of money to bring us this far. This is no time to rest. The Cinescape ad will be out soon, and hopefully we will be able to reach more of our Galactica brothers and sisters than ever before.
I beseech you. Keep the faith. Let's give it our all one more time.
'Cuz gosh darnit... that ad looks good!!!!
KEEP THE FAITH! THERE ARE THOSE WHO STILL BELIEVE!!!
