kidsmoke Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 Ok, so I got some very nice cards for my birthday last week, but today I received a belated one that would be hard to top. It's a gorgeous shimmery green and silver card. The front shows a tall birthday cake & the word "Celebrate!" But the inside is best. On my birthday, January 27th, Scott McCaughey (opening as "The Minus 2") and Jeff Tweedy played a show at the Alabama Theatre in Birmingham, AL. It seems a certain beloved pal of mine named Bonnie (known to you all as Maddie Hope) snagged the guys following the show, and gave them the card to sign! So I've got warm birthday wishes from two of my very favorite musicians....."with love from Birminghey", as Scott wrote. Too cool. Bonnie, you've outdone yourself! What a great memento of this birthday! It hurts a bit less, getting older. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

kidsmoke Posted February 4, 2007 Author Share Posted February 4, 2007 Thank you, all you sweet people, but really I just wanted to throw some appreciation Maddie's way, because I think that was such a very cool & thoughtful thing for her to have done for me. It was the very first time she'd gotten to talk to Jeff after a show, and she spent part of that time just trying to make a friend happy. Neato. There should be more people like her in the world.....and thank you also to Jeff and Scott for the well-wishes and for going along with Maddie's little plot! She even mailed from Birmingham before she left...the envelope bears the Birmingham postmark. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
