Buy a Poster to Help Children!

I like to steer Oz fans who come to my website or blog or wherever to worthy causes whenever possible. Well, all right, so there are hundreds of worthy causes I'd like to steer you towards, but you're not here for that! You want something Ozzy, right? Well, here's a way to get something Ozzy and help sick kids at the same time. Take a look at the poster "Friends of Oz", being sold as part of Project Flutter. Come on, you know you need another Oz poster!

Support This Project!

Here is something very cool that both my wife (the family LEGO nut) and I want to see happen. Jeremiah Boehr is a Master LEGO Designer in Kansas City, and he's created an extremely awesome Wizard of Oz set and submitted it to a site where people can pledge their support. If a project gets enough support, it gets considered by the nice folks at LEGO and possibly made into a set. Since Jeremiah also has the backing of Warner Bros., this could actually happen. He's done a great job — I especially like his design for Dorothy — and we want to get it! (And, hopefully, any follow-up sets in the future! Hmm, Kansas sets done in sepia tones...) So please, this Oz fan and his LEGO fan wife ask you to go take a look at this set and pledge your support. Then, spread the word! We need as many Oz (and movie?) fans to support this as possible. Thanks.

Save the Chesterton Oz Festival

The Chesterton Oz Festival in Indiana, one of the oldest and longest-running of the many Oz festivals around the country, is in danger of disappearing. They need new sponsors. So, as you can imagine, there's a petition going around, but it hasn't got many signatures yet. You can help! So go sign it already! Then spread the word!
