Thanks to everyone who commented on my last post. Luckily, I only saw the guy once today and it was in a room full of people, so I didn't have to deal with him. I know, I know, I suck for putting off doing something about this, but I'm so damn nervous. But if he does it again, I will. (and btw, yes, he does know I'm married)


I have some weird news. I just got an e-mail for a guy who works for Hanson/3CG (their record company). It was about my site, takethewalk.net. At first I thought it was gonna be some kind of copyright issue or something bad. But it turns out they want to buy the domain name from me to use as part of their Walk campaign! I said yes, and that they don't have to buy it, they can just have it. I'm sure they'll be able to do a lot more with it than I have!

The suspicious has-seen-the-bad-side-of-the-net-too-many-times part of me is worried it's a con and it's nothing to do with Hanson at all, just some anti-Hanson asshole messing me around and trying to get me to take the site down for nothing. But the guys e-mail address was an @3cgrecords.com, and he gave me a phone and fax number. Hopefully he is who he says and I'm doing the right thing by handing over the domain name. *shrug* I hope I'm not gonna end up some trusting idiot. Or even more of one than I already am.

ETA

He's legit! :) I sent a PM to one of the forum mods at hanson.net and asked her if she knew anyone she could contact to find out if he worked for 3CG, and she just got back to me and said that he does. So now I can stop worrying that I'm being conned.

Well, that's really awesome news if it's true, and I hope it is! The phone and fax number sound quite good.

Wow, that is so cool! I swear I would pee my pants if something like that happened to me, lol.

I might pee in my pants if it was Hanson e-mailing me, but it's just some guy from 3CG. They'll probably never even know any of this happened.

But it's still cool. I bought the domain to do something good with it and they'll do much more good with it than I could have, so I'm more than happy to let them have it.

I guess they're lucky a fan bought it. Brian was just saying that if someone had bought the domain name just to sit on it in case someone else wanted it, depending on how much Hanson want that particular address, they might have to pay a lot to get the person to sell it to them. He said I was too nice, just letting them have it. But 1) I cannot and would not sell them a domain name that they're gonna use for a charity related site. And 2) what would I ask for? Money? Concert tickets to a show I can't afford to travel to? A meet and greet even though I don't want to meet them? lol I don't want anything from them.

Haha I would've gone the concert ticket line. ;) But that's just me.

Hehe. They're not playing anywhere near enough. lol. I can't afford to travel to see them.

BTW, I kept meaning to tell you that I sent the FUTY DVD out last weekend, so hopefully you should get it soon. The lady at the post office said 6-10 days, but I guess it just depends on the postal service from here to there. I've never mailed stuff to Australia before. But when I mail stuff to the UK it only takes a week, so I would assume it shouldn't take too much longer than that, right?

Ask for an airfare too! Haha just joking.

Already? Wow thanks! Now I have something to look forward to. OMGosh I'm so excited now! Haha. Thanks! I still haven't made your earrings yet. I'll get around to it, I'm just really busy with my new job.

Eeek! Don't make earrings, I can't wear them. I'm SO sorry I didn't mention that before.

I still say you don't have to make me anything.

Haha! Lucky I haven't made any then. Haven't had the time to even start any. Would you like a necklace instead? How long? Like short, or medium or long? Or would you like something else completely?


And I still say I have to make you something! :p
