Come on! Write something!!

Can we ask for an autograph or letter in this thread :-D

Hi Ray!

Merry Christmas! We posted up a nice review of 'The Bradbury Chronicles' at Adventure Books. Fantastic book.

Mr. Electrico (Sam Weller's email name) was kind enough to thank us, and said he loved the background music.

Sincerely,

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, Ray!

Many thanks from the 12-year old boy who "discovered" you while reading THE GOLDEN APPLES OF THE SUN under a tree in his parents' back yard in a small Ohio town a long time ago, fell on his head as a result, and happily hasn't been the same since!

With much affection,

Richard

I cannot stop reading your words and appreciating you as a writer and truly creative person. As Mr. Xxx said, "This is the most incredible example of sensual hallucination and hypnotic suggestion I've ever encountered! ... Your insanity is beautifully complete!"
I wish you a merry christmas and a happy new year.

Best wishes,
Brent Lessard

Last Opportunity...
...to get something over to Ray Bradbury in a form of a 'Christmas Greeting', 'Thanks!' 'Best Wishes for the New Year', or ...whatever is on your heart.

But I have to knock-off a couple hours from the original cut-off of noon, Central Time tomorrow, Dec. 20th. That makes it 10 AM at the latest, Central Time, tomorrow, December 20th, Tuesday. (That's 11 AM New York, 8 AM West Coast.) Do it!!! Ray will love to hear from you!

Dear Mr. Bradbury,

A Merry Merry Christmas to you and yours. How could I possibly express the joys and wonders that you have shown me? Douglas has lived in me for all my life it seems. Your lantern that shone on me as well as countless others continues to burn bright. Also, I have learned to pass that light of wonderment and curiosity unto the latter generations. My children will know of Douglas and starlight and what lies in the mist beyond the horizon. I guess what I am trying to say is: Thank you Mr. Bradbury. Thank you so much…

Love,

Paul and family

A gift for your Christmas, it's all that I've got for you, sir.

Open the Stars

The languid, measureless obsidian,
Brindled with dandelion and sprinkling of snowflakes,
Is ever more fluid than solid.

The lustrous bodies, agape,
Separated to incalculable dimension,
Pester the mente in jest of aeon laughing.

Gazing is all that we can do,
Aware of aspirations and entwined with fullest awe,
To feel their touch of radiance.

Proposal and denial to exist
Free of crags and gases,
Nevermore aware of direction.

Flabbergastry at response to the imaginers
With bouch wide at the answer
Ocuals immensitised at the dream.

With more love and gratitude than you could imagine,

Allex Spires

THANKS! to Everyone who contributed a note to Bradbury at Christmas/New Years. Some 25 did so...and all contributions printed up and sent out in this afternoon's mail.

Best wishes at Christmas
Happy 2006 AD

Thanks, Nard for all you do.
Besides our Überfrau Dandelion, you're the busiest "board member" , in my opinion.
Have a blessed Nativity celebration!
(I've got to wait 'til Jan 7, but I get some good deals at some stores Dec. 26!)
I hope we get a response from Mr. B!
