Get everyone waiting on line to get into the Bowery to sign the card. 2. Wait until a dead moment in the set, and then I'd signal to people around to start singing.... Happy Birthday to you.... Happy Birthday to you.... Happy Birthday dear Flansburgh! Happy Birthday to you! THE BIG FOUR-O!!! Then I'd present the card on top of one of the monitors. If this does freak the Johns out though, I WON'T do it, I don't want to be THAT guy. I'm just doing this as a nice gesture, not a rabid, psycho fan gesture. - John ------------------------------ Message-Id: <4.2.0.58.20000316170440.00a19df0@martin.luther.edu.> Date: Thu, 16 Mar 2000 17:06:12 -0600 From: Tarsi Subject: TMBG: Shows in Iowa Hey, Listers, Anyone heard anything about They coming back to Iowa?
