Luxo Lamp!
My cute lil' Luxo lamp story: I have an actual real working Luxo lamp, modeled after the Pixar character (I work in the Consumer Products dept, so I had a hook-up). A colleague @ Pixar was looking for a lamp to borrow as a good luck charm for Michael Giacchino, the lead composer for the 81st Academy Awards. Michael is a mega-talent and an amazingly sweet guy. He has composed some of my favorite Pixar films such as The Incredibles, Ratatouille, and Up.
What better lamp than Luxo to join him at the Oscars!
As I was watching the Oscars on TV a few weeks ago, I spotted my lamp on stage with Michael as he directed the orchestra! This week, the lamp arrived safely back home...autographed and personalized by Michael! What wonderful energy this lamp now has. I feel like I now have my own "Oscar" thanks to the great Michael G.
