You Guys!!!

[beantownbubba]

You made me cry. And you know who you are.

Yeah I opened the package. What are u gonna do about it?

I am overwhelmed, stunned, amazed, flabbergasted, humbled. And that's even w/ knowing about the planned gift before it arrived today.

We're talking about 31people from 3 continents, 4 countries and 17 states. Did i mention that i am overwhelmed? And grateful, oh so very grateful.

I mean, I don't even have that 9B shirt, lol. Didn't know any were still available.

I'm sure Bryan will add his thanks should i decide to let him know about his gift and not just keep it for myself. I kid, i kid (about the 2d part). All of it is absolutely perfect and so thoughtful. If he's anything, Bryan's a lifelong Sox fan, an enthusiastic and knowledgeable DBT fan and a total theater nut. You hit all the bases way, way out of the park.

And now i'm crying again. It is people like you and moments like this that make this unbelievably difficult, scary time bearable.

I feel totally inadequate to the task of telling y'all how much this means to me and to us. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. <3 <3 <3

[littlemamma]

[The Black Canary]

[scotto]

Cheers to you and your family, Bean.

[Tequila Cowboy]

I know those tears, Beantown. The thing is this is all par for the course around here. It was the thing to do. Like Scotto said, I too feel fortunate to be a part of this amazing extended family.

[dime in the gutter]

Dear Denizens of Three Dimes Down,

Thank you so much for your truly unexpected and tremendously thoughtful gifts. My dad has told me a little about the awesome people he's met on the site, and I've had the good fortune to meet some of you, but the generosity of your gifts surprised me and made me happier than I can say. First of all, the shirt is really really cool, not least of all because of the "limited edition" 9b logo. And I can't think of a gift I would have enjoyed more than an opportunity to see lots of theatre. My dad may have told you a little about my interest in acting and theatre in general, but I'd like to emphasize that it really is my favorite thing to do and to see (along with DBT concerts, of course). So from the bottom of my heart thank you. Sometimes the internet can be a strange and unfriendly place, but I'm super grateful that my dad has found a corner of it where the people are as warm-hearted and generous as y'all at 3DD.

Thank you thank you thank you,
Bryan son of BeantownBubba
