If your name is Jim James - DON't READ

Quotereally nice idea! its always great to get a box of goodies when you're not feeling great... i'd love to be in, but a little difficult from here... unless you did an e-card?? i'd do a mix-tape style cd or something (with maybe some interesting australian bits and pieces on it) but it'd take ages to get over your way this time of year :'(

hey ali, tell you what. you come up with what you want to make on the mix-tape, and let me know what you want to be on there. if you have instant messenger or something, or maybe www.yousendit.com you can get me all the songs. and if you have a scanner, you can write out what you want to say on paper and scan it, and email it to me. if you don't have a scanner, maybe do the same deal with a digital camera and i can print it out on photo paper.

okay, so the deal is:

The Get Well Card.
There's one for america, one for europe. We'll mail it around and then make sure it winds up with Jim. This is totally seperate from the gift box. Make sure you email me your address so we can start figuring out what route we want to send it on. It'd be nice to get it out in a day or two. We'll discuss at the end of tomorrow or thursday what we want the card to be. If your in Europe, amke sure you get in tough with BenGrim and not me. his address is on the first page.

The Gift Box.
I'm gonna be homebase for a box o' goodies for Cap'n Goodies. Send in anything you'd like- Muppets paraphernalia, pictures, mix tapes. Anything homemade is gonna be pure awesomeness on this one. I was told he's pretty hit or miss on candy, so probably don't wanna send too much of it, and probably not super sugary kind of stuff if you do. Probably best to just stay away from it unless you know for certain there's somethin he'd love. I'm gonna try and mail this out a week from monday, so just under two weeks from now. if need be, we can make it longer to accomodate, but i'd like to make sure we get it together sooner, rather than later. Email me and I'll give you my address to send it to and that way i'll know who's sending stuff, so it doesn't leave without ya.

So that's pretty much the deal.

tomEisenbraun · Dec 06, 2005, 06:21 PM

Specialist · Dec 06, 2005, 06:35 PM

tomEisenbraun · Dec 06, 2005, 06:59 PM

haha, hmmm...it gives us at least a little bit better of a chance of surprising him than "Get Well Card and Gift Box for Jim"

why don't we all go to his house and take turns washing his feet and stocking the DVD player with Coen Bros. movies? does jim like guacamole? i make really good guac.

So here's an idea to consider:

I had already thought about including a couple of bucks when I send my package to Mr. Eisey so that it would help him out with shipping. The package that I'm sending is light, so a couple of bucks would cover that.

SO, if you are sending a small package, maybe you can include a couple of bucks to help Eisey with the shipping costs, especially if you are sending something that will be costly to ship.

tomEisenbraun · Dec 06, 2005, 10:38 PM

Hey, i didn't think about that part. Good idea, Corey.

Dee. · Dec 07, 2005, 10:55 AM

Yep, I thought about that, too. Don't want to leave you with the post office blues. :)

sweetdream · Dec 07, 2005, 11:09 AM

If I want to sen dsomething with the giftbox, what kind of money should I send? Bucks, euros? ??? :P
Also, how does we now for sure Jim'll get all of this?

tomEisenbraun · Dec 07, 2005, 02:19 PM

hmmm...American dollars would be best if you can. I really have no clue about getting those converted, but I'm sure I can find a place to get that done. If you could, go to ups.com or whatever and see how much your package would cost to ship in american dollars and then we can figure it out from there. you may want to keep in touch through email with me on this one.

tomEisenbraun · Dec 07, 2005, 02:20 PM

Oh and I talked to Tommy and he gave me the address of the Management office to send this to, so they'll get it and then forward it on to Jim. So there's no worry about it at all.

ali · Dec 07, 2005, 10:54 PM

tom, can you or someone take a photo of the box before it goes out - i'd like to see how our international effort of love :) turns out!!!

the cd's in the mail - i put a whole lot of good australian music on there, plus a few other bits & pieces just to round it out

sweetdream · Dec 09, 2005, 02:31 PM

tomEisenbraun · Dec 09, 2005, 05:04 PM
