I can see why this reminded you of Fred! Was he working on your name while Andy was taking the video, River? If so, I’d love to see it–I couldn’t quite make out what he held up at the end. Sagey must have one too! Love, Grana

I’ve added a picture of the end result. I think they turned out quite nice!
