Bob's 60th Birthday Cameo Extravanganza
Hi all:
He might hate me for this.
But in any case....our little Bob (excluded from this message, so please do keep it a secret) is approaching a milestone birthday this year. I have been instructed that I (seriously) cannot host a shindig or party of any kind. As in seriously. Nope. Was the 50th a little overboard? Hmm...maybe. I mean, I don't think so....but ok, maybe. But we have to make some sort of a deal out of it, right?!?
So what do you do/get for the guy who has everything, you might be wondering?
Here's my thought: I've recently been turned on to Cameo, a site where you request personalized 1-2 minute video messages from celebrities. I would like to get as many of these videos as I possibly can and compile them for the big day. I have scoured the site and found the available folks that I know Bob would get a kick out of hearing from. I prioritized them according to his fandom level, cost, etc. To get the ones I know he would love the most, it's five videos totaling $500. If I were to get all of the ones that would be cool, it could be up to another $900. I'm not going to post the whole list here, but it includes Jann Arden ($99) and Leslie Jordon ($200). If you want to hear more about this list, drop me a line.
I figured if I could get a whole mess of folks to chip in a buck or two (or maybe even $5/$10/$20 or more if you are so inclined) via a GoFundMe, it would let me compile small contributions from everybody who might want to give him something on his bday. If he's someone you would consider giving a bday card to, maybe just drop that amount in here. :)
I think this could be a fun unique experience from all of you on his special day. And yes, you will be vociferously credited on the day.
His big day is November 5. I'm would love to be able to be placing orders by October 15 at the latest, although some celebrities take asks with a little as 24 hour notice...so I probably wont close this until the end of October.
Let me know if you have any questions or thoughts on this!
Dale
