Site's 2nd b-day celebration?
posted on: 6/6/2004 9:06:35 PM

To celebrate the site''s second birthday, I''m toying around with the idea of making a fan page with "Why We Love Mike" and "Why We Love Eric", with responses from fellow fans. Would you like to see this? [If not and you have an idea please share it.]

Great, I really appreciate that. The girl who runs the Idleized Heaven site has a "why we love Eric" section, but she said that not many people contributed. I'd still like to do this, though. Even if not many people contribute, I'm still going to make a special little page.

You can post it here, or if it's too long to post you can just email it to me at
palinsloveslave@yahoo.com

Thanks and I'm so glad you'd like to contribute.

Both men are charming and British, so that's a double plus for me. Last year I was just an average fan, until December. I found Michael Palin's fan mail address and sent a letter to him. The next month I recieved what I was hoping to, but not expecting to, a signed photograph. When i got the envelope, I was puzzled as to why I was getting something from the United Kingdom. When I opened it, my life changed.

You know, I really should write to Mikey. I've been meaning to do it for the longest time, but I'm so shy and have no idea what I would say. I've heard a lot of people say that they just got autographs from him, that's cool that he sent you an autographed photo!

Thanks so much for writing that. I'm going to put it up on the new page, which I'll be working on after I get home.

Okay, the page is up (after repeated hangs by Internet Explorer...sigh). It's here.

Nothing too special but I guess it's *something*.

I was shaking while I was writing the letter I was so nervous. I can't really describe what I wrote, I just kinda talked about how I got into Monty Python and why I admire him so much, I closed it with asking for a signed photograph. It felt odd asking for one, but I'm glad I did. It looks so nice every time I walk in the room and see it on my book case.

Aw, I can picture that happening to me. I wanted to see Eric on tour last Fall so bad. He was going to be performing near me, but it was cancelled at the last minute and the only other place I could see him was in NY City. I had school and I didn't have time to take the train to the city, so I didn't get to see him. My friend Marie got to see him in Chicago though, and she said I could write a letter to him, email it to her and she'd give it to him. I don't know how long I sat there, thinking of what I could say so that it didn't sound stupid. I just ended up writing something short, like I'm a big fan of his and I think he's very talented and funny. I told him I had a site devoted to him and Michael; I almost hope he hasn't seen it, he'd probably be shaking his head at how obsessive some of the stuff is here, lol.

I never got anything from him, though. Marie gave the letter to him but I guess he was just too busy to reply. I guess I could write something similar to Mike (but I don't think I'll tell him about this site though!).

I sent my letter in December, which was kind of stupid because the holidays. I didn't recieve an answer until late January, that is why it surprised me even more, because I had sort of given up on it. What's funny is some friends and I had a debate on what he wrote on the picture. We have decided it does say "Ni!" with the quotes and all. What was really nice was that he personally signed it to me. (sigh)

Aw, that's really sweet that he made it personal. Was it just a head shot photo of him? I know there's one of him in that denim shirt that he likes to wear all the time, lol. Yeah, the mail can be really slow around that time with the holidays and all. I know how you feel though, I probably would have just about given up. Marie gave Eric the letter in November. I don't know if Eric's really busy right now, but maybe he just never got the chance to write to everyone ...

... or maybe he did see this site and thinks I'm a big loony. :
That's it, I MUST write to Michael!!

Kaykay- That's really cool amazing that you got a letter back. I'm thinking of writing one myself just to see if I get anything back. Thanks for the address. Any idea how much post would be needed to send a letter to the UK?

I just sent a regular letter-sized envelope, it was 37 cents.
The photograph I recieved had 1 pound and 2 pence postage on it. (i saved the envelope)

Oops, sorry I came in late here, I was in Virginia this weekend and just got back. Anyway, welcome, Broadways Baby, nice to have you here. I have to write to Michael one of these days.

It only cost 37 cents to send the letter to the UK? That's pretty good. A few years ago I sent a payment there (for an eBay auction) in a regular envelope like that and it cost around 83 cents...something like that. Or maybe I just have a bad memory, lol.
