Wow, today has been an exciting day for my Waldo project! I was just on the rooftop doing a shoot for CBC TV. The segment will be on air tonight at 6, and possibly tommorow at noon! I will also post a digital verison here if it becomes available.
Also lots of blogs have written about him today! Now Public, Vancouver Met Blogs, Gus Digital, Kitsilano.ca, Beyond Robson and my sister Carolyn Coles have all posted blog articles about Waldo today. I am glad that people seem to be excited about it!

Neat idea! Are you encouraging people to make guesses? If so, where should they do that (and I’ve been asked already if there’s a prize hehe)
April 7, 2008 at 10:35 pm
Hi Rebecca, Thanks for the post! I dont want people to post guesses on here as then its like circling waldo in the book! Haha, and then it makes it no fun! There is no prize, much like in the books. The excitment of finding Waldo is the point. However is someone were to sponser the project with for prizes that would be fun!

Great segment Mel! I’m glad they DIDN’T show any skylines! Waldo looked wet. How is he standing up to the weather?

And here I was hoping the prize would be a date with Melanie.

Am I wrong or is waldos dick swingin’ out of his pants?
April 9, 2008 at 2:01 am
Melanie, your idea was just amazing!
As you saw, your Waldo is famous in Brazil… Here he is called Wally! I just love him since I was a kid! I have a lot of his books and, until now, I take a lot in it…
Your idea made feel good, putting me back in my childhood, at the same time that made me seen how creative people can do good and diferent things when they do what they like considering what is new!! Congratulations!
I hope your project became a huge new game!!! I’m not used to use internet for this kind of thing, but for sure I would used to try to find Waldo!!!
Well, you have a fan in Brazil! Thanks for bring Waldo into my life again!!!!!!!!!
