Need to know, Eric; could you actually sleep with Ennis and Jack in your room? 

Yeah.  . . . and when you woke up this mornin, was the pillow wet or was the sheets. . .  or both??

Pete -

I LOVE that you held on to the dream of getting that poster!  I so remember when we all saw it & all dreamed of having it & now you (and Eric) do.  How great.   

Want ya to know, I expect to see them both sometime in the future.  Maybe on a (sorta) annual SF get-together (this year Alberta). 

You brought a very happy smile to my face.  And although I don't have a lavender house, I do have an orange dining room.

Melinda’s gonna be mad I’m sleepin’ with Jack’s Pants!   

 Eric,    Mad?  NO!!!  Are you kidding?  I'm ecstatic!  When I read through this whole adventure last night, my heart was racing with excitement, as if it were happening to me.  I guess that's how I see it--  this beautiful big tribute to our beloved Brokeback Mountain, rescued by Pete and ending up in your home--  it's as if it's a victory and gift to all of us!  And who better than you and Pete to be the caretakers?  We all know you'll love and cherish 'the boys' and be trustworthy guardians!  And....mad at you for sleepin' with Jack's Pants??  Since I (feel that  ) I *AM* JACK'S PANTS, I'm right there with ya!  I am SO excited for you both, and so grateful to Pete for all the trouble he went to for this bold rescue.  Thanks, Pete!  You two might find you're going to have a constant stream of visitors parading through your homes just  to see your new acquisitions!  (May I?  )  Eric, your new 'poster' makes my 4' x 6' BBM bus shelter poster look downright puny!  I do have my own BBM shrine in my house, and of course it includes my BBM gifts from Eric and Ellemeno - (Thanks, guys!    ).  The Tower Records BBM poster/billboard will always remind me of our San Francisco tour and all the 'scrawny asses' piled into my car (yes, yours, too, Elle!  )  ---  what a memorable night that was!

I'm with everybody else and all the questions and comments---  Pillow, sheets, or both?  Good one, Pete!  Tears in the eyes when looking at these pictures?  You bet.   I am SO happy for you, Eric--  and once again, Pete is our hero.  Love you both.

I forgot to take a picture of the blank billboard after the BBM billboard was taken down - so I actually bicycled back today to take a picture



and here is a small sign nearby for the company that designed to BBM billboard

As for my earlier "hint" that I posted -

Hint:

          "Once burned," he said, leaning against the counter, feeling too big for the room.   

          "You still go fishin with that Jack Twist?"

This photo shows what I meant by "too big for the room."  Eric's ceiling is less than 8' above his floor! But with it leanin like that against the wall, it seems to bring the boys right into the room!!

You know, I noticed that and had an idea - if you tack some wood strips to the ceiling with some tiny little nails that would spackle up easy, you could have the boys' world lean out to you.  You could actually sleep kind of under them.

Hey Julie, I like your buttons, thanks for posting them, lucky you! 

The "No instruction manual needed" and its kin are still all at http://www.cafepress.com/ahua/1167379 and http://www.cafepress.com/wero/1304241

Sorry the text around them is so coy, but copyright means I can't actually name the movie.
