I'm mentioned on page H7, last column, second paragraph. kitsune_13 and langsuir have a whole sidebar story on the same page, complete with picture!

(And, tangentally, Telus actually got everything right yesterday. I'm taking this as a good omen! Life in this apartment, with valerian is going to be wonderful!)
