Although we couldn’t get our entire group out to Columbus, Ohio this Wednesday to celebrate Lauren Mayberry’s birthday our fella was on hand to celebrate the special occasion. For those who contributed take a look below to see how Lauren's gift turned out. Because we probably won’t see band mates Iain Cook and Martin Doherty along with tour manager Cara McDaniel on their respective birthdays we celebrated the occasion with gifts for each to them and from their reactions and comments think it was a hit. We tried our best to get each one of them something they’re truly passionate about. This was our way of giving back and saying thank you once again Lauren Mayberry, Iain Cook, Martin Doherty and Cara McDaniel.
Our fella and his guest Tyler had the amazing opportunity to spend the afternoon with the band for CHVRCHES & PVMPKINS & MVSIC in the CD102.5 Big Room. First they enjoyed a private show broadcasted live on radio that included a sensational performance of their songs “Leave A Trace”, “Afterglow” and “The Mother We Share”. After the performance attendees got to paint pumpkins with the band followed by a meet and greet where our gifts were presented to Lauren, Iain, Martin and Cara.

Our present to the birthday girl was a book full of birthday wishes that also included each person’s name, location and optionally how Lauren inspires them and a photo if submitted. We wanted to create something special from all of us fans and we know Lauren loves to read so we hope this will be one of her new favorites in her book collection.
@LaurenMayberryF @lostandfounduk Thank you guys for the lovely book ❤️

The book also included our interpretation of Lauren as a superhero. A rather funny comment ensued from Lauren but we won’t repeat that here.

We know Iain is a Star Wars junkie and had a tough time not knowing what his collection might already include but we ended up presenting him an authentic autograph from the one and only Star Wars creator himself, George Lucas! His excitement factor said it all.
Proof positive if it were ever needed that our fans are the best. Thank so much @LaurenMayberryF for this gift ❤️ pic.twitter.com/5vGJSXZ7Wt

We love Martin’s collection of hats and shirts so we opted to get him a hat from our home city of Chicago. Although we don’t all live in Chicago anymore all of us have at some point in time and still call it our city. Being football season right now we got Martin a fancy Chicago Bears hat with flat bill as he prefers. Our fella got to briefly discuss favorite football and futbol teams with Martin and here is to hoping he can bring our team in Chicago some good luck when the band comes to town in a couple of weeks to play the historic Metro for a sold out show on Saturday, October 24th.

Tour manager Cara is a strong supporter of animal rights so we got her all set for 2016 with a calendar from PETA that includes colorful photos of animals along with stories about how each was rescued and important dates for animal rights related anniversaries and victories.
Later in the evening a truly unforgettable concert by CHVRCHES was taken in at the LC Pavilion in Columbus, Ohio to cap off an amazing day.
