Christmas Cards and Butch Walker

Bibi thinks of Christmas cards as one of the treats of the season.  They make her feel all warm and toasty.  Better than fruitcake or egg nog, you get a respite from the day to day and think of old friends and acquaintances, family members you may not have seen for awhile.  Sometimes they send unintentionally funny pictures and those newsletter ones are often, truly sad, but informative in their way.  BTW--Bibi thinks fruitcake, in small portions, once a year is fine.
    
So, just saying, if anyone thinks of sending one, no problem.  It won't be re-gifted or automatically put in the trash.  another btw: if you enter fruitcake as a search term for the internet, you WILL get some weird pictures!
The point is, Bibi likes the custom of sending Christmas cards.  Every year, a lot of thought goes into THE cards Bibi will send, along with the stamps to be used, the best Martha Stewart frou frou to decorate the envelope, etc.  Every year, Bibi thinks:  day after Thanksgiving, will start the cards, be one of the first to get 'em out there....and....well, didn't quite make that objective.  Received a couple of cards yesterday.  Obviously, those people have no life. 

Bibi stays busy.

Bibi's life is so full:  work, naps, eating treats, chasing Hendrix, naps, breakfast, naps, blogging about Butch Walker, thinking of ways to get more recognition for Butch Walker, dinner, getting the new printer set up, learning the new phone, time just flies and before you  know it, time for another nap!  Just remembered one of Bibi's favorite jokes:  fruit flies like bananas.  time flies like an arrrow.  Funny, huh?  Just love that one!

Finally got the stamps for the cards--no not those really unimaginative Christmas ones--who makes the selection of the USPS Christmas stamps?  So lame!  Anyway, got the stamps and am assiduously working on the cards for the lucky recipients.  Should I include a Butch Walker Mixtape with each one?  whoa, lot of work with that idea...or one of the Butch Walker "looks like a business card" slipped into the envelope?  Too much like one of those annual newsletters?  Bibi will ponder on this.

Speaking of Butch, Bibi wrote to the reporter who reviewed the Stones concert in NYC the other day and asked that he consider reviewing Butch's Chicago concerts.  His name on the article was a hot link, so I saw it as an invitation to email.  We'll see.  My new phone can't seem to alert me when there's a new tweet, so I'm always a bit behind on those, but it does seem that Butch doesn't have time to tweet as much as he did in the past.  Bibi says that's GREAT NEWS!  He's busy working, working, working, which is really what a fan wants, right?  There will be new output soon and paws crossed, can't wait to hear how great it will be. 

Found out that in the Twitter world, you WANT followers.  Sure, I see that for celebrities or wanna be stars, but for the usual person (or cat), really?  Bibi leads a fascinating life (see above) and has lots of profound thoughts to share--check out the other blog posts--but in general, isn't Facebook and/or going to the analyst/or confession(!) already too much sharing?  Plus, Bibi still spends time talking to the fans at acdc.com.  We mostly complain about the site and wonder when we will ever see the guys in concert again, but still.  So, I'm not fully integrated into the Twitter concept.  Like any fan, I want to know what Butch is doing:  did he go to Starbucks today?  what weird art thing does he now have gracing his environment?  (an area where Butch and I would have to agree to disagree) what fan's birthday is he exalting by tweeting them? and the inevitable occurrence of no-matter-what-Butch-tweets, at least one fan will tweet back, "I love you, Butch!"  I think I like those the best.  A true statement of what being a fan is all about:  we love our object in a very special, but real way and we need a way to let them know now.  Sort of instant Christmas cards all the time.

Love you,  Butch!
