ADMIT ONE: THE ADVENTURE BEGINS
IN A WORLD of useless keepsakes, a priceless collection lay hidden deep in the cavernous maw of a suburban storage facility. Undisturbed by man or infant for nearly twenty years in its dusty porcelain coffin, it slept waiting to reveal its dark secrets. It awaited a legendary hero, who’s exploits would be the stuff of legends! Risking life and cardboard paper cuts, a hero smelling of over buttered popcorn and cheap upholstery with an undying love for film discovered the lost collection. I am legend, and these are the shocking revelations wrestled from the lost collection’s ancient cryptic runes.

TIME OF SHOW Journal Entry January 30, 2009
Hours of research and still not all is clear. The artifacts may have wanted to be found, to be studied, yet it’s obvious they intend for me to coax out their deeper meanings, to earn their blessing of enlightenment through the careful exploration of meaningless minutiae.

Two hundred sixteen artifacts and not a single one on the twelfth. What could be wrong with the twelfth day of each month? I will get to the bottom of this; then again, perhaps some secrets are better left unknown. Perhaps a hero needs to know when to step away and leave something for the next collector of legends.
