How damn refreshing

Thank you to my girl Saffy for the heads up, Jude has a new CD! If we remember, and if you all do, we really have been pals this long wow huh?, last year I went on a limb and wrote to Jude asking for an autograph or ANYTHING for Mr. Morgan who adores this artist. The man not only made a "pfffffft" at me buying an album, he sent me one for free signed, then a poster from one of his events that read "Happy Anniversary Mr. Morgan! - Jude"

This year I beg nothing, but I bought the new album for dirt cheap, which is about my budget, and wrote to him that we are still together and have not forgotten his generosity. I did however see the signed cd on the floor last week and my feet went stompy crazed. Pick....it.... up! It's not everyday your spouse writes to your favorite musician and succeeds, get it OFF the fucking floor before you are beaten with it. Repeatedly. So repeatedly you won't even see a signature anymore. I worked HARD to get that man something that I knew would stun his ass. Snap. It was picked up.

Anyhow, the confirmation of said purchase came in and I must admit.... I have been trumped! This is on my level of a letter and I am fucking impressed. So impressed that I had to let them know immediately. I want more people like this (me, scary) in my world! Read below.

DM -

Thanks for your order with CD Baby!

Your CD has been gently taken from our CD Baby shelves with
sterilized contamination-free gloves and placed onto a satin pillow.

A team of 50 employees inspected your CD and polished it to make sure
it was in the best possible condition before mailing.

Our packing specialist from Japan lit a candle and a hush fell over
the crowd as he put your CD into the finest gold-lined box that money
can buy.

We all had a wonderful celebration afterwards and the whole party
marched down the street to the post office where the entire town of
Portland waved "Bon Voyage!" to your package, on its way to you, in
our private CD Baby jet on this day, Tuesday, July 29th.

I hope you had a wonderful time shopping at CD Baby.  We sure did.
Your picture is on our wall as "Customer of the Year."  We're all
exhausted but can't wait for you to
come
back to CDBABY.COM!!

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Sigh...

Dear Cd Baby,

I have to say that is one of the best confirmation
letters I have ever seen.  The fact that my cd was set apart from the
crowd of un-selected cd's and treated like such royalty does not go
without notice.  I expect it will arrive wearing it's proper crown and
strutting like a peacock.  I can only hope to give it the lavish life
that it is accustomed to.  I would hate to hear it cry or otherwise
express disappointment.  Only 50 employees looked over it? 
I admit that simply won't suffice.  I need 51.  Or 50 with a chicken.

You have a definite return customer (granted His Highness arrives safe and
sound, with bodyguards and stern faces!)  I have credentials, all
should go well.

Good prop on having Jude on the option list,jokes aside he is seriously a
very nice man and signed quite a few items for my husband on our last year
anniversary, one year later andhe has a new album... right on.... perfect gift. 

Thanks again for the laugh, hope I returned one.
