MajorSam, tsax and I were discussing possible PTB's and Brad Wright came up as the best PRIMARY target, mainly for his disposition...not that RCC or L.John Smith aren't great people...but Brad might appreciate it more...
sounds good to me!
i'm now hunting for a pic of blue jello to print off to put on my postcard.

Okay folks! Here's the official instruction sheet!
++++++++++++++++
BLUE JELLO WEEK
CELEBRATING AMANDA TAPPING AND
SAMANTHA CARTER
The time has come!
Hopefully, by now you have already taken care of Steps 1-3 as listed below…
1. Buy blue jello (as many sealed boxes as you want) – or get a picture of blue jello for your letter
2. Write a fan letter expressing your appreciation of AT/Sam to TPTB (try to keep it short and definitely be polite!)
3. Get ready to mail it in this week (target mail in dates are between June 15 and June 18)
And now for Step 4:
4. When the target PTB's name and contact info is posted, MAIL IT OUT!
The PRIMARY PTB target is…(drumroll please) BRAD WRIGHT!!!!!
Here’s the contact information for Brad Wright at The Bridge Studios:
The Bridge Studios
2400 Boundary Road
Burnaby, BC
V5M 3Z3
Canada
Attention: Brad Wright
Now if you’re so inclined, you may proceed with the SECONDARY targets: Robert C. Cooper and N. John Smith…or ANY PTB for that matter…just make sure that you’ve sent something to Brad Wright, as he is the PRIMARY target. Or didn’t I say that already?
++++++++++++++++
And here's the PDF for you to print out if you'd like:
And don't worry about the colour of the cakes - they all look the same once they're inside.
Speaking of which, if you do want to send any cakes next week you'll have to helicopter (or even better, CarterCopter) them in - I'll be on top of various big hills in the Cairngorms.
Cairngorms.....let's see.....is that P3X-649 or P3X-234? Just kidding, but doesn't that sound like somewhere SG-1 would travel?

wow, Uber, when you said you were sending a letter....
I never imagined it would be something so long and yet so eloquent!
Everything Uber writes is eloquent! That's why we're all so anxious for her to finish part 3 of her trilogy! No pressure, MB.....

I think astro's original idea was to have a nicely bound book to send. Whatever, your idea is most definitely not silly, and is worthwhile taking into consideration. If it provides a means of sending the whole contents of the collection, without having to edit it, it's probably a better solution.
I agree.....because I thought when we started talking about this.....the idea was to put together a compendium from all of us that Amanda could share with Olivia some day. "See what all these crazy people did for Mommy?" One idea: what about binding it with one of those Velo-binders (I think that's what they're called)? You know, the way big reports are done. It would be sturdy, but not too expensive. A Kinko's or other full-service copy shop should be able to do the job.
Just my two cents worth.....but I'd be willing to chip in on printing or binding costs. I know this could be taxing for astrog. I sure don't want her to have to incur any unreasonable cost!

... my opinion, i think we should send the entire thing. it's not like amanda has to read the entire thing in one sitting, so... i'd hate to see anything deleted.

We will be sending Deepspace's CD-ROM with the Collection - and that will have *all* posts (up through a couple of weeks ago) - no posts will have been deleted -all ship discussions will be intact (and in context).
i'm glad to hear that, astro. i want amanda to know how much she affected us with her beautiful work in chimera, just as much as (for me) she affected us in her beautiful work between sam and jack. she deserves the recognition for her hard work, even if the subject can be toucy because of fandom. i like her seeing that this group of ppl are open minded and can handle sensitive subjects because of kindness and respect for one another.
I think we should send the whole thing , too! I believe Amanda would really enjoy and appreciate all the thought and effort and creativity that went into it. She just strikes me as that type of person.

OK, this is my last post before I sign off tonight, but I just had to say that I think Uber's letter was beautifully written and thanks to ShimmeringStar for the pics of Sam. I love the ones from 2010.
And about looking like our avatars, I only wish I looked that cute. I had my hair cut like Amanda's in season 6. And I'm a redhead, not a blonde, who wishes she could be tall, at least for one day. Just 5'1".

I said earlier that it could be edited down. ( I had to check in again to see if the Brigade instructions were up. The USPS web site shows that airmail from the US to Canada takes 4-7 days, so I will hit the post office tomorrow AM.)
But it is true that it's the thought that counts and I don't think she'd be *offended* if it's a big tome. Like someone said, she doesn't have to read it all if she doesn't want to. Who knows, maybe it would be something for those 2 AM feedings? Though balancing the baby and the book might be tricky. Lots of people have said some really great things and it would be hard to cut some of those things out. But I do think it makes sense to keep our Season 9 anxiety to a minimum. We have really been handwringing lately. In the final analysis, I trust those who are working on it to represent us well.
i say lets not make the blue jello public or start a new thread. my reasoning....we have plenty of anti-sam folks here and all, imho, starting another thread would do is encourage them to send something counter to what we're doing

With my luck, it will be the same weekend my husband is out of town for business and I won't be able to go either.
