This was one of the fan projects for Brendon’s 20th birthday. It included a guitar hero hoodie, a scrapbook where fans sent a picture of a glimpse into their life, skittles & a few extras, and 2 decks of playing cards with a message from a fan written on each one. That last part took a lot of coordinating because fans would email Christina with their address, she would send them a single playing card to write a message on, and then they’d have to mail it back in time. Christina organized this project with Sara, so full credit to her for the pics above.
I didn’t think that fans would actually hear anything from the band, but a couple weeks later Brendon posted:
04.28.2007 - late bday message as i try on my new “music addicted” shirt and my new guitar hero hoodie, i can only feel grateful. for YOU. the fans. i just received a package full of bday letters, decks of cards with little notes, awesome pictures and artwork. i can definitely tell that a lot of hard work went into this amazing project. so, once again, thank you to those fine ladies that set this all up and to all the fans that contributed their time and effort into this project. i mean, if turning 20 is THIS good, i can’t wait for next year. :) love. - bden
