Okay im thinking back to in the past, as a big fan of a music group for some 10 years, when a member was in hospital etc., the fan community usually found a way to get together and create this large card or otherwise get as many fans as possible to post a long thread with everyone writing their own messages of support, which was then passed on to the person in question.
Anyway I wondered if anyone knew whether this would be possible? what do you think, if the original 'hospitalisation' thread stays for news about that but we have a dedicated topic where we all type our own messages out presuming he could read them, does anyone know if it may be possible to, after a day or so or however long, get it printed off and somehow get it to him? maybe this is a bit late because he might be out of hospital in a few days, im not sure. It was just a thought, maybe a bit 'teeny' but I dont know... just a thought! or if someone can buy one of those really large cards and we post messages that they would agree to write into the card on our behalf and then try and get that to him or something... or maybe something could be sent to the publicist or someone who could pass it on(?) it would be nice to think that we could get some of our messages more directly to him, so he has the right perspective to know that we are thinking of him and don't think badly of him at this time, I know sometimes in this sort of situation people think that their fans might be ashamed of them when thats not the case...
So I just wanted to post this as a specific question/request, to see if it might be possible... thats all.

btw I apologise if this has been mentioned before, I didn't read through the whole 'hospitalisation' topic, just some of it. I do think he would appreciate it and hope something like that could maybe be done...

I've posted on a couple of those kind of topics but I don't know if they'll reach him or not, hope so. I'll have another look & add a message there then, thanks for the link edit:- ok I posted something. Its ironic I posted this thread but I often find it hard to think what to say... but I posted a message anyway... its nice to see that thread is so long, shame some people don't take it seriously though...

I sent my own card to Owen at Cedars-Sinai and posted their address. But whether Owen is receiving fan cards at the hospital or if the hospital is accepting cards for him, I don't know.
If we can trust what was written somewhere, he was to be released from the hospital today or tomorrow. After that, I suppose we could send cards to his publicist but whether or not they'll get to him, we don't know. If you want to send a card, go ahead because it might reach him someday. You never know.

I think that's a fabulous idea lom!! We can post here, and maybe someone that knows the boys or has connections to him can relay our messages to him. I haven't been able to find a good reliable address to send fan mail to... but maybe someone else has? I have another idea that I'll post later in the Members Only section (simply because I don't want to bombard this person/people). It would probably be best if one person asks...

I thought it would be a nice idea but I didn't know if anyone knew a sure fire way to get messages through to him... it would be a waste to have someone take the time and effort to write down messages we type here or to print off pages of printouts of a topic from the web and then mail it if it were to get nowhere... this is where its not so good living 1000s of miles away from Hollywood, I'd have no real idea how to go about getting things to the person themselves... I hear that writing to alot of PO box addresses and fan mail contacts don't really work, as such...
