Official Vanessa Carlton Birthday Planning!

[kaysha]

Vanessa's birthday is over, moving this to a normal thread -katia

Hello,

NESSAholics.com is coordinating something for Vanessa's birthday and we need your help!  For all the hard work Vanessa does writing beautiful music, touring, recording and performing... we want to give back to her a day to relax!  We have decided to purchase a gift certificate for a Day Spa for Vanessa to spend an entire day getting pampered!  We need your help for a couple of things...

First!, Along with the gift certificate, we will be attaching a packet of several birthday wishes from her fans!  We need you to hurry and submit yours!  Go here to read about the plans and process, and submit your Happy Birthday to Vanessa!
NOTE: Deadline for submitting messages has passed!

Second!, We are hoping you will find a way to contribute any finances you can spare to help us pay for the gift certificate.  We have setup a PayPal account and provided an address (mine! heh) to send cash/checks/money orders to contribute to this overall goal.  Remember, no amount is to small (or to large ) and we appreciate anything and everything you can give.

Thanks everyone for your time and thoughts... since her Birthday is soon, please submit your birthday wishes ASAP!

p.s. our target is ~$300 so let's make it!  If 15 people give $20, we already make $300... easy, right?

I just received a response from Peter (Vanessa's Manager) confirming he will ensure it gets to her.  He also noted it's a very nice gesture =)

C'mon guys!  Submit your birthday wishes and donate if you can!

katia,

I will send money as soon as i can.  I don't exactly know when it'll be sent out but i will definately send it sometime, even if its after the date. So u can count on atleast like 10 or 20 dollars from me.

[kaysha]

oh wow!  that is so great... Thank you very much! =)

[JazzyManda]

oh cool. awesome idea. i'll try and get some money out of my dad. i spent my last dollars on a nessa poster on ebay. lmoa. oh well. haha

We've been tossing it around for a few days i think... then i got back from NY and was like "OMG, The deadline is so soon!  we have to get something going!" so i put everything up last night.

Anything you can do is greatly appreciated and will help to our end goal!

i'll try as hard as i can. my parents know how much i love nessa. they hear so much about her from me that they call me Vanessa, and tell me to learn some new songs (because i play hers like everyday hehe)
so, i think i'll get some money out of em.  hopefully....

great idea. very cool

*will try to send a dollar (well you said no amount is too small...and i can't ask for money from my parents for a spa trip for nessa...lol)*

[Blake]

I guess I will try to send some money but it would probably be after the deadline....cause right now....$0 but as soon as I am able to get some, I will start sending....

[Steveau]

I sent a contribution and message. We need more people.

[1vcfan]

I'm gonna send something...maybe 10$ ....but as of know I have no money...I'll see what I can do though

And right now, I'm trying to think of something original to write to V. And nothings coming to my head lol

[kaysha]

LOL, i know the feeling... anything you can contribute helps tremendously!  we're about 1/3 of the way there already!

I hear ya on submitting something original, it's rough

Also, i LOVE your avatar.
