Craig Nepp's 50th - SURPRISE GIFT

Craig Nepp's 50th - SURPRISE GIFT
NEPPTUNE - A - LOOOOOZAAAAA!!!!!
Craig Nepp is turning 50!
He survived. (Wow.) We survived. (Wowow.)
A celebration is in order!
In typical Craig fashion, he is trying to let his birthday pass with no fanfare - to stay out of the limelight. Cuz that's Craig.
While we may begrudgingly grant him his birthday wish of no party (grumble grumble grumble) - we are still gonna express our love/appreciation/gratitude (and/or guilt) by pooling our monies together so he can at long last get what's he's been pining over for years: a vintage trailer.
Yep.
And...
maybe a puppy.
(Cuz... LOOK AT THAT PUPPY!)
At least with these gifts, we can all hope that the reason we haven't seen him out and about is because he's camped in his trailer in Lone Pine with his baby Blue Heeler instead of working 12 jobs at once, helping all of us out.
As he does. As he's always done. For half a century.
So here's our chance.
To thank him for never saying no. For the construction work. For the mixing. For the editing. For the heavy lifting. For the rides.For the friends and family rate. For the "for free" rates. For the laughs.
For being Nepp.
Help fill his birthday coffer by SHARING this page with the extended Craig Nepp circle via email, text or private message. Let's get the man that trailer.
And (what the hell) a puppy.
P.S. WE ARE ALSO collecting short video messages from folks to assemble into one montage for Craig. FUNNY, IRREVERENT, OFFENSIVE BIRTHDAY MESSAGES NEEDED! Please send those video messages (and any old, fun photos with/of Craig from days of yore) to davidxmau@mac.com.
(You can also leave a public message here on this page.)
AND REMEMBER - THIS IS ALL A SURPRISE. SHHHHHH..... (Please don't share publicly on Facebook.) Thanks!

We did it! On Saturday, at a small gathering, Craig was presented a gift box by his godson, Sterling. In it he found a toy camper and a stuffed puppy. His other godson, Spencer, then handed him an oversized card covered with the messages each of you wrote. The total presented to him, as printed on this "check" from Plumfund was $4000! INCREDIBLE! But it didn't stop there! Before Craig even had a moment to process it all, a number of his friends and family started pulling $100 bills out of their pockets & just kept handing them to him - bringing the grand total for trailer & puppy to $5000!! Craig was absolutely blown away. In fact, he's still processing. He asked me to let you know he'll be reaching out to thank you individually soon, after the shock has worn off. :) To everyone who so generously contributed, via donation and/or word of mouth, know that - together - our affection, gratitude, and love for Craig was truly amplified. THANK-YOU for being a part of the magic.

Amazing! Thank you to everyone who has contributed to Craig's surprise gift. At this point, we have enough for a puppy and a solid down payment on a trailer...which is fantastic. THANK YOU. HOWEVER - We are leaving the fund open this week so others have the chance to also contribute. We still have a few days to reach people who love Craig and would want to contribute in any amount. Please share with your circles. (You CAN share this page on Facebook, just be sure to block Craig from seeing the post in the privacy settings.) VERY IMPORTANT: We are NOT revealing this gift fund to Craig until Saturday. So please don't mention this to him this week if you speak to him. Let's keep it a surprise. :) Tuesday, Feb 26 is Craig's birthday and he is not on social media so much anymore. Good ol' fashioned texts or calls are the way to go! Thanks everyone!
