I received official notification today that the State of California, and by proxy the United States of America, has no relevant judicial records of me and I am, therefore, certifiably Not A Terrorist.

That, along with a quarter-ream of documents, has been made airborne, starting the countdown on my work visa and the unlocking of the final stage in the Men From Sky World Tour. I think I need to win another 260,000 fans in Rock Band as well, but that can be cleared up later.

Getting the official notification officially notarized was an interesting experience. The Notary doesn’t usually get people certifying their lack of criminality, apparently, and it took a good while to locate the appropriate Affirmation form. There, I had to hand-write a statement declaring that, not only am I Not A Terrorist, but, yes, the presented document is, in fact, my authentic and genuine Not A Terrorist Declaration from the State. Accompanied, of course, by a separate affirmation that I am Me, along with thumb-print.

Regardless, the path is clear for traveling to Atlanta, which I intend to do in the first few days of April.
