help. please help.
ok. so i acquired a new laptop. i’m typing on it currently. it arrived in the mail the day prior to our leaving for this leg of the tour. i really should be thrilled about this, but here’s the problem – it has been painted bright, fluorescent orange. now, yes, this was something i in fact asked for; although, i can’t for the life of me envisage or recollect what i could have been thinking at the time. it is so flipping bright! it is painful to look in its general direction. i say this with no levity. in fact, jack who is sitting across from me just said, “good lord, can you please, please, turn that thing down? i’m squinting. squinting i say! please, for the love!!” and he has a point. my eyes keep drifting from the screen to the bright orange edges framing it. so i am here to beseech thee for help. please. please, help me. i have determined resolutely that what i need are some stickers. send me stickers to cover and mute this vociferous glowing currently projecting from my lap. if you don’t feel the urgency of my plea, here: i’m currently in florida. if you reside in say, tennessee, or ohio, or arkansas, simply gaze out your window in a general southeast direction and behold a new luminescence on the horizon – that is me! please, help.

i’ll see what i can do man.
what kind of stickers do you like? i like puppy stickers, personally.
is it a mac? I think i’ve still got an Apple sticker around here somewhere. . . this is serious dude.. . .
woohoo
my blue computer revolted and now sits on my shelf.
I will look for stickers asap
do you like roses?
ahahahaaa sorry i think thats hilarious. i have a mildly silver mac… =) eheheee. congrats on the new … Orange…
oi. that must suck. like seriously…:(
is it dell? or what?
if I were you i’d ask for people to send in laptops.
I’m sure you’d get at least 1 or 2.
awesome!!
too bad i have no exciting stickers. only little ones, and probaly not worth sending.
but i got the same reaction when i painted my room bright lime green. people don’t like it.
everyones reaction is ” it hurts my eyes “
A bright yellow laptop though. thats pretty awesome.
ps. vociferous..
what a word.
do you have any preferences as to what these stickers should pertain to?
i shall send you a sunblock sticker
well at least it’s not Baylor’s colors : P, UT!!
Thank you for such a belly-ous laugh.
I regret to say that I have no stickers for you.
But, if I find any, you can be sure I will donate to your cause.
Good day, mate!
how does one confuse orange and yellow?
Haha. I can’t imagine a bright orange computer. I’m a bit of a low-key person. I’ll get on this sticker quest.
man, this is the kinda stuff you get yourself into when you dont think. now everyone who sees you with it will think you are a UT fan.
and stickers? i dunno, it might look tacky. of course, flourecent orange isnt too classy itself… if only i still had that big super bowl XL.
btw, how big is the lappy? how many stickers do you think you need?
hey, i want a before AND after picture!
heheh!
I second the picture request!
Plenty of band/radio stickers out there for free…or since the holidays approach…winter/thanksgiving/Christmas stickers (or old Halloween stickers)?
I went to K-Love.com, & now they’re kindly sending one to you.
I even looked up the waco station # 
Too funny. I’ll see if there are any stickers around here. You might end up with something medical.
i shall see what i can come up with.
that made my day. i’ll be on the lookout for stickers.
thats a pretty bold move, putting your address on here and all
do you like ‘mates of state’?
Just tell people around you (and including yourself) to wear sunglasses whenever you pull your vociferously glowing laptop out.
i think i’ve got some karate monkey stickers lying around here somewhere. . .
Beepcon stickers will adorn this abomination to technology nicely. They are black with orange in a non-all saints eve kind of way. Perhaps Jeremy can hook you up. Plus it would look very cool.
bad idea…you will now receive about 150,000 stickers.
Wow~ an orange laptop. I’ll see what I can do……
I gave you a sticker when I saw you guys at borders. I also gave you CDs of my music. You have that one sticker. I can send more though–if you need.
Also, I have to ask you a question. I’ll contact you by some other means for that though.

Dude… we are SO bringing you stickers to the show tonight! We thought the bomb went off or something here in south Florida…
*whew*
wow, a bright orange laptop. that must be really bright…
SAY IT LOUD AND SAY IT PROUD! stay your choice of color and be unwaivering! let those around you know that you made an awexome choice! be confident in orange!
pwned
Note to self: never buy an orange computer
first of all, ORANGE is the best color ever! it exudes happiness, energy, and warmth! but i know what fluorescent orange can do, and it’s not always pleasant.
be expecting some stickers soon! ;]
no such luck, that’s not his address, but ubc’s.
looks like University Baptist Church is gonna get alot of stickers.
Hey, I’m from Arkansas! I saw the light.
personally.. i love orange.. orange is my favorite color.. well.. dark orange to be more precise.. and u probably now know why it’s dark orange.. haha
would a bandaid count as a sticker?
haha
is that the dutton avenue from which the band Dutton takes their name? i saw them play at NE1 in the UK this summer and they said they were from waco…
Hey David I know that you dont remember me from Austin but we talked for a while in Borders in Austin and I told you I had a shirt for you…back at YS I gave it to Tic that next morning and was wondering if you obtained it or not. It was green and yellow and had a Crowder Head on it ….I dont know if you read these or not but if you glance at my xanga my pic is what the shirt looked like… Thank you for all you do I can really see God moving through and touching everything you do.. Keep on keeping on!

I think there’s another computer company out there (ask Tom) that makes Skins for laptops. Unless you want to continue with the hodgepodge sticker theme.
I like the orange.
Wow dude. That is … orange … and … bright. I’m squinting just looking at it on my monitor. And I wondered what that orange glow was to the south of our house (in NC).
I’ll see if I can find you any stickers. Dude.
