John asks Nerdfighters to get or make Hank something for his birthday (May 2009)
ask · status: reported back · last event: thanks (2009-05-13) · owner: John
In May 2009 John asked Nerdfighters to get or make Hank something for his 5 May birthday: his CD, a cake or birthday wishes on YouTube. On the day Nerdfighters sent presents all over the internet, and Hank thanked them, later finding far more birthday mail at the post office than he expected.
