Holy crap!

So, I don’t care what the reality of the situation is, I’m totally claiming credit for this.
Back at the beginning of March, Lev Grossman made a post at his Time blog asking about a Daft Punk video. I responded to the post with a link to a Wikipedia entry that answered his question.
In his reply to my comment, Lev included this quote,
and people should really ignore this post and go over to this guy’s blog and watch some emo guy singing ‘Goin’ ta Hogsmeade’
You can see the comments at the post to see my reply. (BTW, he’s talking about this post)
I didn’t really think much of this, beyond it was kind of cool to get linked from Time’s website. (I’m a dork like that)
Then today, I saw this post over at WizardRock.org
That is right folks not only is old Remus’ birthday but The Remus Lupins were mentioned in the one and only Time Magazine.
And sure enough, you can read the short piece here. Now, look at who wrote that piece.
Yeah, I’m totally claiming credit for this one.

I gotta get me a blog.
Well Matt, looks like I owe you a butterbeer.
How about doing some more east coast shows, now that I’m not completely clueless, and we’ll call it even. :)
I agree about more east coast shows ;-)
Me and Matt are all up-ins major media. ;)
Congrats, bro. Couldn’t’ve happened to a nicer cat!
[...] Back in March of this year Lev over at Time Magazine mentions the Remus Lupins in a short article on the Potter franchise (*cough*my fault*cough*). Two months later, MTV suddenly appears out of the blue and does a short news piece on WR. Is it a coincidence that these two events happened so closely together? Or did someone over at MTV read the Time article and have their interest piqued? [...]
