Let me tell you a little Xmas story...
About five years ago I became a fan of Tottori local singer Takara Fujimoto. Bought all her singles, albums and DVDs plus merchandise. A true fan alas :-)

A few weeks ago she asked fans teasingly to send her presents. Some did with sweets and stuff.
So I thought: Okay she will get a present from Germany too since she asked!
And I made a DYI advent calendar, with inexpensive little things, chocolate, souvenirs and so on. Took me only half a day to create.
The postage was more expensive than the stuff itself. Lol. But then I had spent way more money on a BiSH BluRay... And I liked the concept.
Took DHL 12 days (!) to forward it out of Germany :-O But it finally arrived today as I could see from the online tracking
I had no idea how she would react. IF she would react at all. Or maybe think "jeez what a creep..."
I wasn't prepared for what would happen... Just a few hours after the delivery there was this:

Also note the blog entry and ESPECIALLY the youtube video.... All I can say is Xmas came early for me!
And yes it can be rewarding to be a fan :-)
