It’s My Birthday!
To Whom it May Concern:
If you found a digital camera in the fabric section of the Courtland Center JoAnn store in Flint, Michigan, please let me know. Also, you might NOT want to look at the photos stored on the camera, as they include dozens of snapshots from the last several days on the road with my lover’s rock band.
Those photos might, for instance, feature myself and members of said rock band humping a giant stuffed Santa Claus on the dirty floor of a venue called “The Fortress of Solid Dudes.” Don’t ask.
I’d especially like to have my camera today, since it’s my 29th birthday, and I want to take pictures of the celebration tonight. And I have a finished Baby Surprise Jacket and another ’surprise’ finished craft project that I’d like to share with my online friends. (Yes, my online friends — who are kind enough to judge me by my crafty deeds, and not by any embarrassing photos they might find on my digital camera… including those that may involve toilets, Red Bull, and/or horse drawn carriages. Don’t ask.)
So, yeah. Please return the camera. It’s my birthday, after all.
xo, Pam

Yikes, I hope you find it!!! That’s awful, to lose the camera, esp. when you have an FO to photograph (not to mention interesting pictures otherwise…). Happy birthday, Pam!
June 3rd, 2007 at 11:51 am

June 3rd, 2007 at 1:02 pm
Happy Birtday! Go buy yourself a new camera! haha
June 3rd, 2007 at 1:35 pm
This is the funniest birthday post I’ve ever seen. Sad. But funny as hell! The Santa story rocks, and if that’s the tamer one that you’re willing to share with the world, I can only imagine what happened on/in/near the horse drawn carriage! Yowzers.
(fingers crossed for the camera)
Happy Birthday!!
June 3rd, 2007 at 2:22 pm
happy birthday to you!!! i really hope you get your camera back. pls keep us posted.
June 3rd, 2007 at 3:18 pm
Happy birthday, my dear!!!
How crappy to have lost your camera. You sound awful cheery for someone in that state. I *really* hope you get it back because we need to see some of those shots.
June 3rd, 2007 at 3:39 pm
Happy HAPPY birthday Pam!!
(Ahhh, not yet 30
Sorry, couldn’t resist!)
And damn about your camera. FIngers crossed!
June 3rd, 2007 at 4:10 pm
Happy 29th!
I hope your camera finds its way back home.
June 3rd, 2007 at 4:19 pm
Happy Birthday Pam! I hope the loss of the camera doesn’t dampen the party too much, cause that sucks! I lost my camera once and it wasn’t fun.
I hope you have a good final year as a 20-something!
June 3rd, 2007 at 4:20 pm
happy b-day!!!
i do hope you find your camera. that sucks. . . :/
June 3rd, 2007 at 4:32 pm
El sucko on the camera, I hope it find its way back to you.
Happy birthday!
June 3rd, 2007 at 4:39 pm
Those sound like some stellar photos that have gone missing. Quel bummer! Maybe starting the day with something crap happening means the rest will super rock. So, um, happy birthday!
June 3rd, 2007 at 4:43 pm
Oh no!
But you know, I might actually have judged you according to the photos. By the sounds of it, I would have judged that you gals seem like my kind of crazy people and fun hang out with.
Happy B-day.
June 3rd, 2007 at 4:47 pm
Happy birthday! Sending you Chaotic Lucky Camera Homing Thoughts(tm)!
June 3rd, 2007 at 4:58 pm
Dear Pam,
How I wish I found your camera. Partly because, of course, I’d like to return it to its rightful owner. But also, I admit, because I could use some good photos for my blog right now, and I think you might have some for me.

Cripe! I wish I’d found your camera!
June 3rd, 2007 at 7:12 pm
Happy birthday! May your camera miraculously reappear…
June 3rd, 2007 at 10:10 pm
Happy Birthday, girl! I hope to bits that you find that camera. Moments like those are priceless… maybe they’ll at least send the memory card back!
June 3rd, 2007 at 11:39 pm

total pisser! hope the birthday festivities are enough to help heal the loss ;o)
June 4th, 2007 at 12:51 am
HAPPY BIRTHDAY PAM!! You know I like to celebrate a birthday, and today, I am celebrating yours! The loss of a camera is truly craptacular…particularly when there are choice shots like the ones described here. I hope this camera turns up, the Fortress of Solid Dudes? My interest is so piqued.
June 4th, 2007 at 1:26 am
OMG those photos sound hilarious! Too bad about your camera though, and what a time for it to happen! You seem to be in good spirits anyway. Happy birthday Pam!
June 4th, 2007 at 2:14 am
Hope you get your camera back quick and we do want to see your birthday photos! Have a great one and many more to come!!
June 4th, 2007 at 2:44 am

June 4th, 2007 at 3:41 am
Happy Birthday to YOU!
It’s my birthday too, but I am SO not 29.
So sorry about your digital camera though
June 4th, 2007 at 11:03 am
oh girl. did you have a happy birthday? but did you get your camera back in time?
June 4th, 2007 at 11:59 am
Happy Birthday! Sounds like Santa had a reason to celebrate too. Condolensces on the loss of your camera. I hope it finds its way back to you soon.
June 4th, 2007 at 12:01 pm
Happy Birthday! It sounds like Santa has a reason to celebrate too. I hope your camera finds its way home soon.
June 4th, 2007 at 12:42 pm
You are a riot. And I wish I were having even half the fun that you are!
Happy Birthday, Pam! Hope you find that camera.
June 4th, 2007 at 1:32 pm
Happy belated birthday!
Losing your camera sucks. I lost mine last year and was lost without it. Though the pictures in mine when it was lost weren’t anywhere near as good as yours…
June 4th, 2007 at 1:51 pm
I think we all have some “don’t ask” photos hidden in a closet somewhere, wishing they’d be lost. But it’s a bummer when there still in the camera and lost. Good luck!
Happy Birthday - late. Hope you made some new “don’t ask” memories!
June 4th, 2007 at 2:26 pm
ah… such a bummer.
but, HAPPY BIRTHDAY. use the sadness to celebrate twice as hard.
June 4th, 2007 at 2:37 pm
Happy birthday!
Camera? Camera? Where are you?
June 4th, 2007 at 2:45 pm
Happy birthday!!!!
Oh - that so stinks about your camera!! Maybe you’ll get a new one for your birthday?
June 4th, 2007 at 3:01 pm
Happy Birthday! So sorry about your camera– I hope it gets back to you somehow. I’m imagining all of these fabulous things you’re working on, and I’m quite impressed
June 4th, 2007 at 3:11 pm
Oh, DEAR. Crap. Crap. Crap. And a very happy birthday to you, despite the missing camera. Hope it turns up! (Mostly because my you’ve got me all interested in the roadie lifestyle).
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

June 4th, 2007 at 4:58 pm
First of all: Happy Birthday!!!!
Second: The camera situation sucks, I hope it gets turned in, or I hope the camera-keeper has some extremely bad camera-something-or-other coming to them.
June 4th, 2007 at 5:33 pm
Nightmare! I hope you had a good birthday, regardless…
June 4th, 2007 at 6:49 pm
Happy birthday and good luck with the camera! Hopefully, it’s just wandering around taking pictures of fabric that you need to buy.
June 4th, 2007 at 7:02 pm
Happy Birthday!!
Hopefully whoever found your camera got a good laugh and will also find a way to get it back to you. Because Santa-humping is really something that should be saved for posterity.
June 4th, 2007 at 7:09 pm
Happy Birthday!!! hope you get your camera back
June 4th, 2007 at 8:11 pm
Happy 29th Birthday! I hope your camera finds its way back to you.
June 4th, 2007 at 9:27 pm
happy birthday young’un. maybe it’s time for a new camera…
June 4th, 2007 at 9:36 pm
Hey, we share a birthday! Happy Birthday! Hope you got your camera back…
June 4th, 2007 at 9:51 pm
Happy Birthday Lady!

Happy birthday!!!! Hope you find your camera!
June 4th, 2007 at 10:47 pm
Wow, a lost camera is the lamest birthday present ever. If you need a loaner I’ll send you my little point-and-shoot when I’m back in MI.
June 5th, 2007 at 5:02 am
Happy Birthday, Pam! So sorry about your camera! I hope it is returned to you. Best wishes for a wonderful year!
June 6th, 2007 at 1:18 am
Happy Birthday! (a couple days late. Sorry I’m barely online these days). I hope by now you found your camera!
June 6th, 2007 at 9:19 am
happy birfday! You can now join my lost camera club. I have lost two very expensive cameras. One when drunk and after making out with a super hot (straight!) male hairstylist, and the second in Hawaii, with gorgeous vacation photos lost forever. I still ache over those lost photos, more so than for the lost cameras. I hope it comes back to you.
June 6th, 2007 at 3:01 pm
Happy belated. Hope you found the camera, or at least got a new one for your birthday.
June 6th, 2007 at 5:34 pm
Happy Birthday! Hope the camera turns up soon.
June 6th, 2007 at 7:51 pm
crap! i’m late! sorry…HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! SO SO COOOOOL…and about that camera..did it ever show up?
June 6th, 2007 at 8:33 pm
Okay, I am a totally lame blog friend… I missed your bday! Sorry Pamela! I hope there was a bright shiny part of it despite the stolen camera bit. Ack! (but the humping pictures sound f-ing hilarious)
