World of Weird Al Yankovic

That looks really nice! Great choice, Emily! I like the embossed message. Classy.

Everyone who contributed to that should be proud.

I'd rather wait to post pics of my gift, until after Al gets it. I do have two pics that Meli has seen, plus, she has it in her freezer, so she's seen it in "real life". LOL!

I had to put a sign on the chocolate that says, "Do not eat unless your name is Alfred Matthew Yankovic!" The last think I need is my brother eating it after thinking it was for his birthday in July.

Love the sign! Your brother better not touch it.

Don't make me come down there, because I will!! *I wish*

He probably won't, but I had to make sure, he has some creative excuses. "Well, you know, it was late and I can't read after 6pm, plus you know I can smell chocolate for 50 miles away..."

I wish you could come down here too, Patti!

hehe, it's ok. I was teasing. I'm sure he won't eat it. His birthday is in July? That would be a long wait to keep something like that in the freezer!



Anyway, I hope Al likes it.

True, but I have found some old things in there...

I know Al will like it, and I'll be sure to ask those questions for you!

Ogosh, what I'd do to meet Al. I hope is birthday is phenomenal.

Concert time is so close! I can't wait to give Al everything!

Wow! The journal looks really nice! I'm sure Al will love it!

Well, it's about 9:00PM California time, Al's well into the show, and since I doubt he'll be lurking around here before he gets his gifts, I'm going to go ahead and post the pics of what I got him.

The card

I decided to do an origami card rather than the cross-stitch. I found some wrapping paper that had the same design as the gift bag, attached a piece of posterboard to the back, and wrote a short birthday message on it.

The game

I'm not sure why I thought this game would make a great gift for Al, but as soon as I saw it in a catalog, I knew I had to get it for him! It consists of two caps that have velcro strips on them and each section has a designated score. It comes with 3 balls that stick to the velcro and instructions for 3 different games you can play. I thought he and Nina might have fun playing with it and it might be a fun game to take on the road, too.

The t-shirt

Again, as soon as I saw this in a catalog, I knew I wanted to get it for Al! It's a cool shirt, done in the "classic" style similiar to the ones that came out in the 70's. My biggest concern was if it would fit, but I got an adult large and that's the size the FAQ section at the mothership says he wears so I'm keeping my fingers crossed on that one.

I can't wait to see the pics/video Meli takes of Al getting the gifts! I really hope he likes them! I'd love to be there but as long as they get to him, that's what's important!

Those gifts are so cool!! I know Al will love them!
