On June 12, 2007, the mark Count Blockula was entered into the United States Patent and Trademark Office's Official Gazette (see above), along with a 30 day allowance period for anyone who wished to do so to oppose the registration.  Upon completion of this 30 day period, if no such opposition had been filed, the USPTO would issue a Notice of Allowance.

Well, it's 30 days later.

I've been checking the website all morning, and they still haven't updated the status yet. But, hey, I'm just impatient and excited, so I'm calling it official as of now:

on July 12, 2007, exactly 6 months after the birthday of Mike Crowley (Jan. 12), the entity known as Count Blockula was offically born. :-D

This means I get two birthdays a year now, each exactly 6 months apart from one another. :-)
