09/05/2013****Edit**** Here's what we've come up with (sorry for the rush, we don't have a lot of time). patricksbirthday2013.tumblr.com/Hello Wolfpack! We’re making a Birthday video for Patrick’s 30th birthday and we want all of you to get involved! All you have to do is send us a picture or a video (max 10-15 seconds) wishing Patrick a Happy Birthday. The video will be posted on our YouTube channel on Patrick’s Birthday, June 30th. Please include your name, country and user name from either Twitter, Tumblr or Wolfboard in your email. Be creative, be fun, but most important, be yourself! The deadline for videos & photos is May 31st, 2013. Please email your video/photo to: patricksbirthday2013@gmail.com Check back on this page for updates or you can follow us on Twitter: @i_am_catriona & @jessiespaceg Please feel free to share this but remember not to tag Patrick since this is a surprise. Update - - we are doing a charity donation. @iamapatientgirl is setting it up and I'll post it here in a few days. Also, we are planning to send Patrick a box of cards and small gifts from the WWWPack. Email: patricksbirthday2013@gmail.com for information. Please, only small lightweight gifts (ex. cards, bookmarks, artwork no larger than 8x10, etc.). Do not send anything heavy or that you are worried could be damaged or lost. To be included, your gifts and/or cards must be shipped no later than May 24th and received in the U.K. by June 1st, 2013. (Your items must be wrapped or placed inside a second envelope since we will need to open the first package to add it to the birthday box). Thank all of you who participated in the Twitter Party last month! It was amazing!!! Well over 100 Wolfie’s participated and there were over 1,200 #SundarkAndRiverlight tweets! We can’t wait to see your videos! Lots of Wolfpack Love, Catriona & Jessie ***Your submission does not have to be in English - Patrick has fans all over the world and we want all of you to be represented. You can send a message, share your artwork, use signs, local sights, dress as your favorite PW character - it doesn’t matter as long as it’s a loving + positive message. ***A few people have mentioned possibly doing a charity donation in Patrick’s name - if that’s something you’re interested in send us an email and we’ll see what we can get started ****************************************************** (original post) Hi everyone! Cat and I are trying to get an idea of what we all want to do for Patrick's birthday this year? We have a couple of ideas so far: Making a fan video with messages from everyone and/or making a box with letters and (small) gifts and/or making a donation to a charity in his name. I think doing the video and a box would give everyone a chance to participate in their own way. We don't want anyone to feel left out. Also we don't have a lot of time so I think it would be difficult to put together a book or joint gift. Let me know what you think or if you have any ideas. I want to get this started hopefully in the next few days so we can get a lot of people involved. If this is okay then we'll post the details so we can get it on Tumblr and other places. Luckily we have a huge list of people from the Twitter party I thought for the video we can include some clips of Patrick and short video messages from everyone and also pictures. I can put the video together but we'll need to get started. I can set up a tumblr page with instructions. Also if we send a box we'll try to get delivery confirmation on it to make sure it gets there. I'm so excited!!

Video idea sounds great. I just think we present him so many physical gifts during tour that he don't know where to keep them :DD Therefore, digital gift would be easy to deliver and everyone can participate. But still our russian (well, saying russian i mean all post-ussr wolfpack with fans from Ukraine, Belarus etc) wolfpack making art book with drawings and photos for a few months now, i hope he'd find a place for this tiny book somewhere

Good idea! I think I may ask anyone who wants to send gifts to maybe make birthday cards instead? I just know handmade items are more personal for a lot of people, but if not I think the video would be enough. I thought yesterday it would be cool if we could send him something for his new studio - but I would have no idea what and I'm sure he can buy whatever he needs. And of course you never know how many people would participate - it could be one really awesome present - or here's your $5 gift card to Starbucks, lol!

well, I have already physical gift for Patrick - it's handmade but not by me bc I've got two left hands for such things but if we'll decide to give only virtual gift, it's ok, I could give him mine someday later I like the idea of virtual gift in general, but I'm not sure about the idea of filming myself :x

I modified the original post with the updated information. Sorry guys, this is going to be a bit of work so I wanted to get it started a/s/a/p. Hopefully there is something for everyone to feel included. If this is anything like the Twitter party it's going to be awesome!! See the original post for details or the tumblr page. patricksbirthday2013.tumblr.com/I guess it doesn't hurt to re-post the basics here so it doesn't get lost in Wolfboard-land: We’re making a Birthday video for Patrick’s 30th birthday and we want all of you to get involved!

Yay!! Yes, mail your gifts to Catriona. You can PM or DM for her address if you don't have it. Also, please send a video AND picture. I was meaning to tell people. Instead of "credits" at the end of the video I'm going to add everyone's photos with your name (or user name) and city or country. I know some people are only doing photos but I'd like to get a photo from everyone. From what I've seen so far it's going to be wonderful I love your video Sergey! Oh I'm sleepy and not sure if I posted this already, along with the video and the gift box we are doing the charity. Jessica (@iamapatientgirl) is setting it up and I'll post it here next week. We are getting a lot of feedback so I think it's going to turn out great

Reminder - deadlines are only 2 weeks away. Just wanted to send a reminder - please send your videos and photos to patricksbirthday2013@gmail.com a/s/a/p (send a photo + video if you can, if not photo only is fine). Videos should be no longer than 10-15 seconds. Send us an email or DM on Twitter for the address to mail your presents if you want to be included in Patrick’s gift box. We gave a mailing deadline of May 24th- but keep in mind your package needs to arrive in the UK by June 1st, so you may need to ship earlier. (remember: lightweight gifts or cards). We will be taking a donation to charity in Patrick’s name. @iamapatientgirl is setting this up and we’ll post the info as soon as we have it. We want to make this the best birthday ever! The video and photo submissions so far are amazing. I’m so proud to be part of the wolfpack Send your questions and submissions to patricksbirthday@gmail.com or send a DM (direct message) on Twitter to @i_am_catriona or @jessiespaceg

If anybody wants to send something for the box PM me or email patricksbirthday2013@gmail.com for my address We'd love to get as many people as we can to contribute! And yes, everything Jessie just said, haha! Thanks to everyone who's sent us photos and videos so far! Remember if you like you can send a picture and a video - we're thinking of putting all the pictures up at the end, like credits. So if you've already sent a video you can send a photo too! (I haven't had much time to post on the wolfboard recently with my exams but I still check it every day so if you PM i will get back to you!)

Here's the info for the charity donation, I created a separate thread so it wouldn't get lost in this one. (If that's not ok please delete it). Along with the video & gift box (see here: patricksbirthday2013.tumblr.com/), we are collecting money for a charity donation in Patrick's name. Last year was super successful with only a few weeks to raise funds and I’m hoping that we can do even better this year. With that in mind, our PRIMARY charity will be the same as last year, All Out, an LGBT organization working to raise awareness about injustice on a global scale and doing work to help keep members of the LGBT community safe in places where discrimination and violence are widespread. We chose All Out in 2012 because of Patrick’s past support for their campaigns in Russia and Iran. As a stretch goal, if we raise over £200 I intended to split the contributions between All Out and Youth Music, a UK organization helping children throughout the UK access music programs they might not otherwise have access to. I think we can all agree as fans of the importance of music to Patrick as an outlet both as a young person and today and I think it’s important to help support other children struggling with bullying, poverty, or myriad other issues find music as a way to cope. If you participate, your name will be added to a certificate we’ll present Patrick listing the total amount donated to each charity. Please be sure to include your PREFERRED NAME for the certificate along with your donation so that it can be included in the list. We appreciate and accept any size contribution, in any currency, and it will all be exchanged into the appropriate currency when I make the donation. To participate, please paypal to patrickwolfdonate@gmail.com along with your info so I can keep track of everyone who donated. Thanks so much! Share this: patricksbirthday2013.tumblr.com/post/50576102423/help-us-celebrate-patricks-birthday-by-making-aSend Paypal donations to patrickwolfdonate@gmail.com www.allout.org/enwww.youthmusic.org.ukThanks to Jessica (@iamapatientgirl) for setting this up again this year (I created a new thread so it won't get lost in the Birthday post - mods can delete this one if it's not ok).
