I'm famous *thud*

Since president Obama visited my homecity Dresden yesterday several pictures of me can be found in the web. Apparently people really liked my little Obama figure! I also got interviewed and appeared on some German TV-channels: ZDF, N-TV, RTL, Dresden-TV (and I have it all on tape!); plus my picture is in some newspapers as well: Dresdner Neueste Nachrichten, Morgenpost, Freie Presse and a quote without picture in the Sächsische Zeitung.

First, here are the pictures I took that day:

batch 1 (Thursday): http://dieastra.livejournal.com/5585.html

batch 2 (Friday): http://dieastra.livejournal.com/6545.html

And don't forget to look at my story how General O'Neill explained the Stargate programme to the new President: http://dieastra.livejournal.com/3687.html

Picture from Dresdner Neueste Nachrichten:



And at a stand of the Sächsische Zeitung you could get this picture:



It was here when RTL asked me what I was doing at the moment. Well, what does it look like? LOL I need to digitalize the video. It was in their main evening news, and afterwards my mother called: "I've seen you in TV!"

Dresdner Morgenpost:



Freie Presse (Chemnitz)



Video in ZDF heute:



Here's a link to the video, it jumps right to my moment: https://youtu.be/Y4M7DPXGq3c#t=1m22s

The following was the pic my American friend found in the Democracy forum:



It also was displayed in Zeitong from Fulda:

Hey, that's great! Do you mind if I mention this on action_tales?

Of course not, go ahead! I just wasn't sure, tooting my own horn and all that.

I just updated the post a bit, forgot the interviews for several TV-channels (have it all on tape!) and also some newspapers have published my pic the next day.

You're free to link to it now, and thanks!

Hi!

Just wanted to ask whether you still plan on mentioning my sudden fame at the community? Haven't seen it so far, and am reluctant to do it myself.

I am a bit worried that you might have misunderstood my "of course not!" This actually was the reply to your "Do you mind?" question and shall mean, yes, I'd be proud if you did.

Well, just checking!

Hi there,
No I haven't forgotten - I've been meaning to for a while but am tied up in some projects at work and so my fannish time has been limited recently. I've been guilty of not commenting on a lot of things that have been going through my flist lately. :(
I do have the entry bookmarked though for when I get the time to write up a proper post. :)
