CCow, do the attributions on your photos work for you? I figure you're a professional so extra info should be given, including copyright info.
Actually could you just pull the "aka Commie cow" part. Thanks.
Ok.

What are Cutethulhu's cleaning instructions? He's going from place to place and being handled a lot, he's bound to get dirty.
Wipe him down very gently with warm (not hot) soapy water, then let him air-dry (no dryer for this little guy). Or you can spray him (lightly) with a disinfectant spray like Lysol or an equivalent (not Febreeze, it doesn't kill germs), just make sure to let him completely dry before you pack him up. I've sent him off in a zip-lock bag just to make sure he stays protected if the box he's in gets rained on, so it might be a good idea to keep the zip-lock bag with him.
I don't know if the goal with Cutethulu is to get him as diverse as possible an array of places, or if you're interested in getting him to as many people as possible, but if you're interested I could give Cutethulu an extra little pit stop on his way back home.
I'm in Everett, Wa and I could show the little dude a night on the town if you want.
If this is too close to Seattle, combined with the uber late interest I'll totally understand.
Cute, but I'm not much of a knitter (I know how, but not particularly well, and I like to crochet better) - thanks for sharing, though, I still take ideas from knitting books too.
That reminds me, the tax refund just came in so I need to get some more yarn and start up on the list again.

If you can take photos with him around Seattle, sure. I couldn't get to most of our landmarks with him before sending him out, so he needs some Space Needle time, not to mention Gas Works, the Locks, EMP, the gum wall at Pike Market, all that good stuff. I'll tag you on to the end of the list, then you can just hand deliver him back to me. Send me a PM with your address and what-not.
Also, feel free to come hang out in [chat] at some point, introduce yourself around so we can get to know you. I promise, they'll only bite if you ask them to.

So, a good portion of the people on the list for Cutethulhu blessings aren't really [chat]ters. Personally, I'm cool with this. I'd imagine everyone else is since there haven't been any protests. That in mind, is Cutethulhu official the D&D Mascot now, rather than just the [chat] mascot?
Also, there are currently 45 people on the list (not including myself, VisibleHowl, or CommunistCow), one of whom is a new addition as of the 19th. Another person just asked if they could be added to the list. I'm thinking it might be cool to continue to allow new people to be added conditionally. If they can provide new locations which haven't been photographed yet, live somewhere that isn't already densely populated with fellow participants (like California or New Jersey/New York), and are well known enough in D&D that they're trustworthy (you know, not likely to keep him or what-not), I don't see anything wrong with allowing more people to sign up. I'm figuring, if it's ok with you guys, we can set the list limit to 60 people and see who else decides to sign up.
He's your mascot though, so if neither of these things is ok with you guys, that's cool. Lemme know.
I'm last on the list, I guess, so although I don't want to rain on anyone's parade, it would be nicer for me if the list didn't grow too much while he's travelling, otherwise I'll never ever get him.
I'm cool with whatever so long as he gets to Hawaii in the next 3 years. :P

Is Cutethulhu going to PAX? I live in Upstate New York so otherwise I'm not allowed to participate, but I can take him to PAX. If shuffling the list around is okay and I get him before Thursday when I leave he can accompany me to PAX.
I am, to use the vernacular, "down" with this proposal, Passer. The more places we can get, the better.

I swear, you are the most wish-washy group ever. :P
I'll allow the list to go to 50 max, so people who are in really cool areas can get in, but the list can still stay reasonable out of respect for the others on it. There are currently 50 people on the list (not counting myself, VisibleHowl, CommunistCow, TimothyLeary, etc.) so there is no more room as of July 26th. People from North America aren't allowed at all - we've already got a shit-ton of Americans/Canadians, and no amount of telling me what a cool place you live in (or how much your child wants to see the octopus) will make me change my mind. People in Asia or Africa will be given preferential treatment. Anyone else who wants to has to make their place seem like the coolest ever.

I do believe that's up to Kakos. Ask him if he can definitely get Cutethulhu out to you by Thursday (he'd have to mail him Tuesday at the latest, I imagine); if he can, I'll wedge you into the list as Cutethulhu's Official Bearer to PAXEast. :^:
Oh Passer I was going to say this order:
Johannen (Cardiff, Wales, UK)
WMain00 (Glasgow, Scotland, UK)
Kalkino (London, UK)
Mojo_Jojo (Bristol, UK)
BobCesca (Birmingham, UK)
Haphazard (Stuttgart, Germany)
would probably make more sense in this order:
Johannen (Cardiff, Wales, UK)
BobCesca (Birmingham, UK)
Mojo_Jojo (Bristol, UK)
Kalkino (London, UK)
WMain00 (Glasgow, Scotland, UK)
Haphazard (Stuttgart, Germany)
Otherwise you're going from the South/Central West, to the far north, down to the South East, then back to the Central West, before going back out over the country.

Is there a schedule or something? How do you know who will have it a month from now? I mean the Thursday in March before PAX. The 25th.
Ooh, I thought you'd meant this Thursday. I didn't know when PAXEast was going on, I just knew it was earlier than when RealPAX starts.
Well, theoretically, if Kakos mails him by the 24th (within his 1 week limit), he'll arrive with Nocturne by the 27th, Nocturne gives him (IIRC, this is their plan) to TehSpectre by March 6th, and TehSpectre mails him by the 13th, it arrives with Ryadic on the 16th ... if he mails Cutethulhu to you a couple of days earlier than his one week (just to ensure it arrives on time) you should get him by the 25th. So if everyone stays completely on schedule and Ryadic is ok with shortening his time, then yes, you can take him to PAXEast.
Okay, though keep in mind if it arrived on the 25th I won't get it since I will be leaving before the mail arrives.
Ok, 24th then.
I'll threaten those involved with dire consequences if they don't send Cutethulhu out in time. And I'll ask Ryadic nicely to send him out a little early, just so we can have a PAXCutethulhu.

Ok, so Sarks is going ahead of Ryadic just to make sure he gets Cutethulhu in time. Sarks can also keep Cutethulhu extra so that PAXEast can be completely blessed by his tentacled presence. But Sarks had better provide some damn good photos, including plenty with other D&D and [chat] participants. And if he doesn't provide a Cutethulhu dance video at least as cool and awkward as Ferals, we shall mock him mercilessly.
Those of you who got PMs about schedules, keep to them anyway, since the 1 week limit has always been in place anyway. :P
You guys do realize that so long as one person takes him to PAX we're cool, right? I mean, I would assume that everyone interested could get together for some cocktopus action.

Oh, has Matt already asked?
If he has then I guess there's little choice but to give it to him, though I wouldn't be able to have my own turn with Cutethulhu since the US is blacklisted.

Hey no fair, I've been asking for him for PAX since Christmas!
Did you?? I guess I missed it.
Well, since you're going to PAXEast as well, you and Sarks can be Co-Bearers of his Tentacled Greatness (though it'll technically be Sark's turn with him - Co-Bearers just means you should collaborate), then you can still get your turn with Cutethulhu after Ryadic, ok? Work for you?

the "no true scotch man" fallacy.
Just wait for Kakos's pictures. He will ruin the thread.
Yeah, but CCow's the uber-pro-photo-man, so he gets like... at least 65% credit.
You'll just have to do better than him!

There are specific cleaning instructions on the LJ (and somewhere in this thread, I believe) that mention not throwing him in the wash.
