Not exactly the kind of night I had expected, but certainly one - and a sunrise - I won’t forget. Happy birthday, buddy. #everyonelived# #wildnernesshangover# #wesmell#

#Happybirthday# to my partner in crime for the last 12 years, the guy with the best brows in the biz, and the human embodiment of amber waves of grain and Texas sunshine, @c-crawford. Here’s to many more years of making other people supremely uncomfortable with our intense, prolonged eye contact and disregard for each other’s personal space. Love you, brother! #StillTallerThanYou# #HandsomerToo# #AndSmarter# #ButYoullDo#

A #nationalbestfriendday# #tbt# to the last time @c-crawford and I hit court side together. Looking forward to watching the #Warriors# sweep it in 4 with the best man a guy could hope to have in his corner. #LookOutCleveland# #bromance#

Chace, [ @c-crawford ]

I could use this card to go on about how excited I am that we’re celebrating the premiere of a new project of yours, or how surprised I am that you’ve managed to produce for the first time without bankrupting or fucking off the whole cast. I could tell you how impressed I am that you’ve taken to producing with aplomb, and I’ve heard nothing but great things from the people in the cast we’re lucky enough to call friends.

I suppose one could tell you how much I admire how you continue to expand your skill set and push yourself out of your comfort zone to keep growing and learning as a person. Or how honored I am to be one of the people you try and push to help me grow as well. 

But the bottom line is, this card - and this whiskey - is to remind you that I. Am. So. Fucking. Proud. Of. You. Always am, and always will be. I can’t think of anything more rewarding than being able to be there on this big night.

I can’t wait to celebrate with you, see this film, and watch you blush like mad when the rest of the family (deservedly) fawns all over you.

Love you, 

Seb (and Minka, Gigi and Tony)

My brother from another mother, [ @c-crawford ]

Happy birthday, Chace. We thought we’d try something new this year for you and instead of giving you anything, we’d just make you a vision board of things we would have gotten you (and may have waiting for you back home) if we had unlimited suitcase space? No? Fine. Maybe we’ll begrudgingly give you something now, because we can’t have you going empty-handed on your fiftieth thirty-second birthday.

First, the vision board: behold these pictures of a carved rock liquor (whiskey, let’s be honest) dispenser for your home bar, to give you that fancy-man feel while drinking at home and watching a the worlds most non-sport (golf) and pretending it’s interesting. Along the same theme, these golf ball inspired drink stones to keep said whiskey cold, because we know you love anything with balls. Also why this incredibly upsetting pillow is coming your way - we figured you’d get the most mileage out of it. Milage that we would prefer to not know about. Finally, we felt you would get a lot of really solid life advice from this book by the renowned self-help guru, The Situation, to learn a few things about ‘creeping on chicks’, and more specifically ‘avoiding grenades’. You’re welcome in advance.

But onto something you can play with now, and given in genuine encouragement of spirit and hopes that you will get some good use out of them during the last week of our trip: a leather bound journal and professional-grade charcoal and pencil set. Your artistic abilities are so admirable, Chace; something we’re both envious of and appreciate - and want to support you in continuing to develop in fond amazement. With the gorgeous Australian outback, literally, at your doorstop for a short time - we hope it can jumpstart your creative spirit and help you rediscover the joy and inspiration of your art.

I will save the real mushy stuff for when you inevitably force your way into my sleeping bag tomorrow and attempt to take advantage of my virtuousness, but thank you for always standing by me, supporting my decisions (even when they’re bad ones), championing my slow crawl towards emotional stability, and for knowing exactly which buttons to push to make me laugh when it feels impossible. You are, and will always be, my family, and you’ve done more for us - my parents, pets and wife inclusive - than you’ll ever know just by being consistently and belovedly yourself. I thank God our paths crossed on this wild journey through life, and I wouldn’t have made it this far without you. As a final and “gently used” gift, no matter what happens - in your corner, you’ll always have me, Ma and Tony, and now Minka. ( …though maybe don’t tell her that just yet?) (Kidding!)

We love you, Chace - all the best wishes and hope for the year to come,

Seb and Minks xx

Happy Birthday Chace, [ @c-crawford ]

If we were more highly evolved beings that understood concepts like “the passage of time” and “ageing” and “birthdays”, we’d most definitely be wishing you a happy birthday today. As is, we’re home and wondering where the fuck all our preferred humans went and why we’ve been left with a responsible adult who doesn’t let us lick burger grease off of her fingers after dinner, or do that high-pitched squeal/sobbing when she feeds the chickens. Obviously, we prefer you.

We heard you’re working on getting a dog of your own, which makes our noses quiver with anticipatory butt-sniffing excitement. Since dogs are glorious, magical creatures who sometimes can’t be trusted to not wander off with anyone who gives a good belly rub, we wanted to pre-gift you for your birthday one of these fancy, and sometimes alarmingly annoying, neck accessories that we all have, a WÜF Collar!

Us and the humans have some contradictory opinions on what it can do, like live track your new friend via GPS (breach of privacy), set up invisible leashes and fences (#can’t be tamed#), help with training (ugh, overrated) a two-way speaker so you can tell your pup to “get off the couch” when you’re not home (like that’s some sort of fucking crime now?) stores health records and monitors their temperature so they don’t overheat (admittedly, helpful), and even monitors activity like a doggie FitBit. We think you might need one of these for yourself, too. 

Thanks for always sharing your fries and playing ball with us in the house, even though we’re totally not supposed to.

Love,

Wigs, Chew & Fred

[PS: we got you a size large to deter you from this toy poodle nonsense we heard about. Don’t do that. We can’t be seen in public with one of those.]

Apparently @c-crawford tried to take Wigs for a jog and broke him! Was probably the worst 45 seconds of this furry peaceful protestor’s life. #slothdog# #hearteyes# #atWigsnotChace#
