So since I’m sure I’m not the only one in Tumblrland feeling a crushing melancholia a bit down about not being drawn for the Sherlock NYC event tickets, decided I could do something to cheer folks up. And also to celebrate the May 6th PBS premiere! So I’m doing my FIRST-EVER GIVEAWAY! :D

University of Florida’s unofficial graffiti wall: saw this driving by and EXPLODED. Came back, parked, took photos. I’m not a UF student so I don’t know who did this, but whoever you are, LET’S BE PALS. SERIOUSLY. Let’s deface public property together forever

UPDATE: this, in addition to nearly the entire wall, has been painted over. :’( Very glad I stopped to take pics. Sorry if you wanted to see it! Guess someone will just have to redo it ;) Also, holy bananas, look at all those notes! Very pleased I could share this with everyone :)

Operation 221B

The Believe In Sherlock Holmes campaign continues this week. Posters, pamphlets, and signs marking support and trust in the late Consulting Detective have spread throughout the London area and beyond. But one place, until now, has been naked of such support. 221B Baker Street, the home of the late Sherlock Holmes and his friend John Watson, has been neglected by the supporters of Sherlock Holmes.

Reasons why, no one can quite be sure. Perhaps it is to mark it as a memorial, or supporters are worried of drawing too much attention to the now famous door. While it is unknown if Dr. John Watson has returned to the flat, members of the “Holmesless Network” wanted him to know that they, and thousands of others, support and trust him.


——————————————————-
Note: Yes, that is the real door used in Sherlock. No, 221B is not the real address, those are just mad photoshop skillz. We did not leave the posters up there, of course. The owner of Speedy’s thought it was brilliant, and he watched us. We put them up with blue-tack, so there is no damage, and we took them down after photographs (though some bystanders and fans snapped pictures in the interim haha).

THIS. Is the coolest fandom thing I have ever seen.
