I feel kind of strongly about this, so (speaking of presenting things more than once) let me repeat. She pays attention. She knows we're here. She is on-line regularly. She reads everything that's sent to her; in fact, that's even more true now than it was in the Mylène days because nobody is shielding her from communication. She also, regretfully, doesn't have so many fans that it's impossible for her to do this. I felt we really overdid sending the letter. She read it, I'm sure, when it was posted here on its own thread, but sending it directly by some channel or other was fine. But we sent it twice, once via Sony and once via Institubes. That was already overkill. But then, we also sent it electronically to Julien in Paris, for him to deliver. And THEN, Scruffy, you hand-delivered it to her at the signing. That's five times. And I am completely certain she received it all five times. Can everyone agree that that was a little much, and all because people had such doubts about her receiving what is sent to her? Have a little more confidence than that. Electronic transmission of information really, truly does work. It's actually more reliable than snail mail, not less. (Although there are some things you can't use it for.) Alizée isn't Madonna -- first off she's not a bitch like Madonna, and secondly she doesn't have nearly as many fans. I've already thanked her for this wonderful gesture, which she certainly did not have to do for us, and I have no doubt she's received my messages. So personally, I feel no need for more. If you guys want to do something collective, that might be nice and she might appreciate it, but please: just send it once after it's finished, not multiple times. I would suggest doing it by Facebook. It's quickest, and it's quite reliable. Ben is a FB friend of hers and would be the logical choice because he's the site manager here. Or I'd volunteer if you want. Fine with me. It's polite to say thank you for something as nice as this, but don't freak out about it. Really.

I think it's a great idea Doc, just make it the 29th.

Plan B
But if we make it the 29th, the only way I can get laughs is by squirting seltzer down my pants. But if you want to make the 29th special, go for it!

Grab your gear and move in.

I agree with Deep. Though, it was somewhat satisfying to see her actually hold it in her hand. If only that had been the first time. I am sure she understands we only did it this time so we could have it on video, in a formal setting. But as satisfying as it was for me, I didn't even help write it. So for those who did, I can't imagine. But to thank her, let's not send another letter. That is my vote. But if we decide to send her one, I will by all means do what I can to help write it. I don't want her to think I don't appreciate her, so I will assist as needed/wanted. But I cast a vote for maybe video thank you's, though I understand some members don't want to/can't. So... Stuck between a rock and a hard place...

I like that CFH likes this stuff. Deepwaters, you may be totally right, she may have read it all five times you mention. (Wowee!) Or maybe she still re-reads it every night before retiring. But in any case, it gave Scruffy something nice to bring along to France! BTW, Scruff, did anybody ever ask you this: Did customs wonder what you were doing with all those CD's? Did anyone hassle you for import taxes? |
