Michael has a milestone birthday coming up in February 2018. I ran an idea past Gail that passed with approval. I have small cards that are 2.5X3.5. The idea for the card is not to say happy birthday, but you have room to put a few sentences to tell Michael why you love him, his music or how his music helped you in hard times. It’s should be big enough for a wallet size photo if you would like. Then when he’s home sitting at his desk, he can pull 1 or 2 cards to read when he has the time. Our words will be with him all year. I request a SASE, and I will send you a card. Write your note and put in your picture. When your finished, mail it back to me. For those out of the country, I checked with my postmaster and she said you can put your own postage on the return envelope equivalent to $1.15 US. Email me, Sally, at MYSCRTPSSN@gmail.com and I can give you an address to send your SASE (self addressed stamped envelope). A second option that isn’t as personal, is to email me a short note and I can cut and paste it onto a card for you. I don’t want to handle pictures this way because I’m not that computer literate and don’t want to make errors with something as personal as a picture. When all the cards are gathered, I’ll put them in some sort of decorate box. And the box of cards will be Michael’s birthday gift from us. It might seem early, but it’s something that we can work on Now through January. I’d like to be finished by February since I would need to get a box and mail it off to Michael. Your welcome to share my email with anyone you think may be interested in contributing to Michael’s milestone 65! Looking forward to hearing from you, Sally
Hi Bridget, good to hear from you! Well sweetie, the fake Michael contacted you on Facebook but I’m not on Facebook. Now I don’t know if you can send the link to this guys’s page to Gail at the E-mail address boltoninfo@aol.com so she can check it out. I know it’s not easy for everyone to send links. If your Facebook page doesn’t have a screen name other than your own name, I can definitely send her your info and she can look it up. You could also let her know on her own page on here:
I will forward her your message, but she might contact you if she has questions. Thanks for reporting it Bridget. BTW, were you able to get to any of the Florida concerts last month? I hope so. All right sweetie, take good care of yourself and hope to talk again soon. Hugs, sincerely, Sylvie Qc Canada :D
Hey Bridget, glad to hear you like my pictures! They're music boxes I make. I have a whole blog on my page called "My creations" on which I've posted most of them. I'm also glad to hear Gail got back to you so quickly, she is an absolute angel! I'll look forward to hear any news when you have them, good luck sweetie. Take care and have a great Sunday. Hugs, sincerely, Sylvie QC Canada :D
Hey Bridget, thanks for the friend request. Girl, you work fast! :D Thanks for your message sweetie and best of luck! I was told Gail was on vacation but I've just spotted a couple of posts from her, but not sure if she's posting from the road. In any case, she should read your message soon. Take care Bridget. Hugs, sincerely, Sylvie QC Canada :D
Hi Bridget, I just got your message on my page,thanks for writing. Well, I'm geographically-challenged, but I know that there are 3 upcoming concerts in Florida, so you can take your pick! :D As far as meeting Michael, first, you might want to check with the venue or the promoter to see if they have VIP packages with tickets. Those usually cost extra. If they don't, your best bet is to write to our moderator Gail Atkinson at boltoninfo@aol.com
You should know that Gail is on vacation right now though. So state your best case for yourself and write to her, she will forward your message to Michael's office and then cross your fingers and wait... :D I'm not sure when the Florida concerts are scheduled, but usually, Gail says you should remind her to ask about a month before the concert. You have to understand that Michael gets a lot of meet & greet requests, so it's a process to sort out how many people he has time for, at each venue. I'm just telling you what I was told. However, there are other ways you can try to meet him. You can always state your case to the promoter, this has worked for one of my friends. You can call radio stations in your area that do play Michael's music and ask if they're giving away tickets, backstage passes etc. There's also the good old waiting at the stage door or by his limo after the show: that has worked for fans too. Best of luck to you Bridget and keep me posted on your progress! :D BTW, if you have time to spare on the forum and would like to interact with fans, or need directions in general, let me know. I've been here since the beginning of this site, 3 1/2 years ago and I know my way around... :D Take care Bridget and again, good luck! Hugs, sincerely, Sylvie QC Canada :D
