ok everyone....update time.
your response to this thread has been tremendous. not just by your posts here, but by email, and via myspace and facebook. aswell as showing your support for this gift giving, many have asked that they be allowed to make a monetary contribution, which up until now, i've declined. i want you all to feel a part of this, and your support is truly enough, but for those who won't feel involved unless they can make a contribution, (after much consideration), i am willing to accept your generous offer. please understand though that this gift continues to be from EVERYONE who supports tony via tonyvincentworld.com, regardless of any money given. any such contributions will be handled off the forum and no donors will be named. those who wish to give, please pm me.
other news on this surprise .....
due to the dynamics of the show, it's not looking like we can get these flowers presented to tony onstage, HOWEVER, i have been liasing with a friend at the opry who will take delivery of the bottle of wine, and the flowers, and will set them up in his dressing room in preparation for his arrival that evening. she will also take photo's of the set up and hopefully we'll have a photo of tony with them, included! if you would like your own personal birthday cards / gifts to be in his dressing room with the flowers / wine when he arrives, then please also pm me asap as they will need to be posted to a different address. are we all cool with this so far? any other thoughts?

The words are perfect ing! As for the additional surprise - do you really have a postage box big enough to put us all in?

deb? he would much prefer that over any bottle of wine or flowers. SERIOUSLY. if only btw-- after the wine / flower spend, there will be £25 GBP left so i'm thinking on an amazon.com gift certificate of $50 which i'll get emailed to him from us all on the day? unless any better ideas spring forth? ing x

Beautiful words on the gift card ing! I think a gift cert as an extra-over pressie is a great idea. We know how he loves a good read and that way he could pick something himself, rather than risk sending him a book he already has or doesn't want. Perfect!

You've got such a wonderful way with words, Ing. They're always just right:-) This is so exciting, almost like celebrating a birthday myself. I like your idea for using up the rest of money donated, in lieu of using Deb's idea, which I actually think is better. LOL.
