Rhett's 41st Birthday -- CALL FOR IDEAS (and project volunteers)

Hello, Mythical Beasts! Rhett's birthday is quickly approaching (October 11), so we need to get a birthday project kick-started for him pretty quickly. If a physical gift like a printed book is involved again, we need to account for printing & shipping time, which will reduce the amount of time we have to actually work on and compile the project.

We need 2 things right now:

1) We need to agree on a project idea. Many of the past projects have generally involved printing and shipping a physical book full of letters and artwork, but we have had a few different projects and it would probably be nice to switch things up a little. We also did really huge, ambitious projects for Rhett's and Link's 40th birthdays, but I suggest we scale it back to pre-40 project sizes again so we don't burn out our volunteers. Which brings me to the next point...

2) We need a volunteer to lead this project. Our birthday projects are only possible when one person, or a small team of volunteers if needed, steps up to organize submissions, keep everything on track, and have it ready by the deadline. Please consider stepping up or offering to help out in some way!

Leave your project suggestions below so we can keep track of everything and come to a consensus on what to do. Since September has already started, I think the project itself will need to launch by next week at the very latest. That gives us only a week to decide on an idea and get started.

I think that we should do a video like the 1000th episode video we did as mythical beasts but to Rhett birthday instead! Also I have said I'm willing to help on Twitter

Ok so I’m willing to spread the word about the project if needed. And my idea is that we could ask the mythical beasts to send in a little bit of their sand/beach sand from where they live. to then give them all cutely to rhett. since he loves beaches/nature so much!! let me know if you guys need any help. rhett deserves so much

I dunno if this is a great idea but I was thinking that people could send in like messages to Rhett (simple ones) and they could all be collated into some sort of collage thing of him (or Barbara?) but it's with words rather than pictures

I figure someone artsy or knows how to do something like that could do it

or maybe MBs taking pictures of themselves (that has something to do with Rhett and his birthday like I dunno them wearing merch and holding up a cupcake or something) and that could be a collage of something Rhett-related

I mentioned this on Twitter (bloocloud87, come follow me if you'd like), and I'm more than happy to help in any way I can!

A joint MB video would be cool, maybe with us all doing the same thing so we can link it together? Maybe like throwing/catching a birthday gift from side to side like we're passing it to each other, then presenting it at the end?
