That's right...that's exactly right.
Thanks to Bren; Limerick, underseasie, and I, got an Odyssey tour at Focus yesterday.
We recorded our own mini-episode in the KYDS radio station:
We got WodFamChocSods! FINALLY!!
We got the Odyssey tour from Nathan Hoobler himself!
In the control room for the recording of the Focus on the Family broadcast.
In the Foley room, here he is demonstrating the doors:
This is one of Whit's shoes.
He signed my official guide!
The front of the Administration building:
Did I ever mention how beautiful Colorado Springs is?
We had a great time!

This is in my Top 10 favorite topics. Those pictures are so cool, and I am completely needing out right now. Alas, not all of us are fortunate enough to galavant around the country, going to exciting locations with online friends.

This is amazing, Wren!

That would be so fun! And the WodFamChocSods look great, too.
On another note, it was nice to see a picture of underseasie. (That is the first one posted, right?)

Nope, she posted some other ones on a different topic (forgive me, I can't remember which one)

Wowww! Oh wow, wow, wow. Is it real?
How and why were you able to go there, Blondie? What do you mean by, "thanks to Bren"?
You won the Holy Grail, you finished the race, you conquered the dragon. Were you overcome with awe when you saw the building? How did you feel when you entered? Did you cry? Did you dance? Did you sing Communicate? How did the Wod Fam Choc Sods taste? They look so beautiful. Just how much more ethereal were they than anything else that had ever passed your lips?
You met Nathan Hoooobler! How tubular. How exactly did you meet him? Is he the one who's supposed to give the tours, or was it coincidence? It's not only absolutely incredibly mind-blowing, it's perfect, because he was a fan himself before AIO picked him up. He knows exactly the nerdy joy that comes over us. Those Focus halls are as hallowed to him as they are to us. What was he like?
You look quite lovely. Where's Limerick? I agree, OJ, it would be so awesome to go to the AIO Palace with an AIO pal. I'd pick Frog Face, of course. That would be Heavenly.
Rosy Posy, I concur with TS, it's great to see what you look like. And you're quite pretty. Say, what's with the big black stick you're holding in KYDS-Kids Radio? It looks like you're sweeping the floor. You got to go the best place on earth and they made you sweep?
Anyhoo, congratulations. You have our admiration and envy, and one day, I speak for all of us when I say, one day, we'll go there too.

There have been other pictures of Rosy in other places.

Yes, it was very real.
I mean, thanks to Bren, because Limerick was visiting, and we are about an hour away from Colorado Springs, we were going to take a visit, so I asked Bren if he could use his connections to get us a meeting with someone, and he got us a tour!
I did not cry or dance. I was so nervous though, meeting him.
The WodFamChocSods were wonderful.
I am not sure about the tours thing, Bren talked to him, told me to call him, and he set up a tour with us. *shrugs*
Limerick is the one next to me in the last picture. In the green and purple sweater.

Oh. I thought he was your Dad.
Now, now, Blondie. I was just being honest. No need to... Blondie. Blondie? Ahhh! Help! Save me!

You aren't the only one, so did the people at Focus...

He and Brock give the tours. When we met Brock he said all we had to do was call in and he could give us a tour. Still haven't done it yet...

Sarcastic: ha ha. Fixed.
Thanks, Mara. And that's a pity.

Uh huh. Sure.
Well, I suppose it is to be expected...I mean, at the movie theater when we went to see Frozen, the age limit for the adult ticket is 14, and the lady asked my age, so she would know if I should get an adult or kid's ticket. O_o
Back on topic.
I surprised Nathan with my knowledge of AIO trivia. Who knows how they do the Foley for Bernard's squeegee?
Nathan asked, I answered correctly, and he (and Limerick) were surprised. xD
