New Berlin is outside Milwaukee. Will get transferred to the postal service this evening, I'll get it tomorrow.
So the hat gets here tomorrow but the fake arrow that goes through it won't get here until Valentine's Day?
New Berlin? I thought all your stuff was distributed from Beloit or Janesville or Rockford or Mumbai or someplace like that.
All Fedex Smartpost packages go through New Berlin. It will then go to either Oak Creek or Madison, then to Beloit.

Exactly. Wait, when did Valentine's Day come in to this?

Yes, I just watched it last night. Your assesment is spot-on. The series was known for being a sci-fi thriller/monster movie and nothing more. 1-3 were great. Alien Resurrection was a dissapointment to me, as it felt tired by that point. The AVP movies were also dissapointing, nothing more than a Hollywood stereotypical action movie.
However, Prometheus was breathing new life into the franchise by bringing in a grander scale to the series and providing questions that I found really intriguing. I definitely thought Alien Covenant would answer some of those questions and for a little while it appeared like it was headed in that direction (to provide more answers to the story of the engineers and their love/hate relationship with humanity). Sadly, the movie never went there and just became the same as Alien 1-4. Nothing wrong with that, and I really enjoyed it for what it was, but definitely a dissapointment and a missed opportunity when it comes to storyline and moving the series forward.
It almost feels like the whole storyline with the engineers is now dead. I wonder if Ridley Scott and the writers listened too much to the criticisms of Prometheus and, unfortunately, went in a totally different direction to please the critics. I do also agree with @Cyclones_R_GR8, that it was a beautifully shot and very atmospheric movie. The visuals were very captivating.
