Perhaps the coolest thing for me from today is my first ever press badge... I've never been an official "press coverage guy" before, and this is really cool to me! I lost count of the number of times that people looked at me, then to my badge, then back to me again. I even got my first ever paper recognition of someone who placed me as a writer from PureMTGO. And that was even before I was wearing my PureMTGO shirts, as I'm reserving those two for the Pro Tour itself.
As an artifact of my writing evolution, this will hold a very special place in my collection.
