Happy Birthday, Candy!
"Candy is sweet and funny and has a wealth of knowledge about random important things like copyright law and video games!  She is an amazingly talented musician and composer!  And she is a dedicated SU member, Skypeing in to almost every meeting!  I miss her and wish we all got to see her more often!  Love you Candy!  Happy Birthday!" - Christina

"Candy is the sweetest, which should go without saying, but sometimes it has to be said. I miss her, I'm partly jealous that she's in L.A., I love her talent and her studious and methodical nature and I want great things for her. And not just great things like sunshine and hanging out with us (although I want those things too) but the world should hear her music. Happy birthday!" - Carl

"Candy is a quiet and calm collaborator with an easy, unassuming presence. She and her music are like rain - beautiful, soft, with a hint of something deeper that pulls you to listen closer. Her artistry is alert and present, thoughtful and curious, pressing but with a twist of fun. The thing you won't notice when you hear her first measures of overture or shake her hand at a meet-and-greet is that she is completely ready to be play and be silly. It's unexpected and refreshing in a world of Super Serious art making. Above all, she believes in her collaborators. You know and feel that she trusts you. So when someone says jump, just hold onto Candy's hand and go!" - Amber

"Sweet lady full of ideas- so much talent it's sick, and also the kindest heart hiding behind that wit.  Miss her, love her, wish LA had a teleport to MPLS." - Rachel

"Candy and I have very little face to face interaction under our belts, and yet I feel that I've gotten to know her. This is a testament to how involved she manages to stay from afar.  I love that Candy and I share a slightly goofy sense of humor, and I'm always excited to hear  her ideas because they are so original and lovely." - Mason

"As I'm having trouble wrapping my brain around the enormity of Candy's awesomeness, I'll share three things. 1. Candy makes a very funny voice to personify a can of beans. It's pretty great. Proof of a great sense of humor and a willingness to be very silly. 2. Candy wrote music for a show I was in at the Bedlam, and I still think about that song all the time. It haunts me. Proof of an immense talent. 3. I went swimming in a lovely heated pool in San Diego with Candy but three short months ago. Proof of what a good friend she is (driving several hours in order to see me for a shorter period of time than the amount of time she was in the car), and of her excellent taste in swimming suits (very cute). While we were swimming we day dreamed about having a SU retreat in California. Proof of never fearing to dream big, even if things seem preposterous to begin with. I lover her dearly. Happy Birthday, Beans." - Laura

"If Candy were a song, she'd be all the things. Sometimes cheerfully melodic; sometimes contemplative and dissonant; sometimes loud and exciting; sometimes soft and comforting. She's curious and complex -- and asks us really difficult questions that make us think about things in a new way. I'm going to kidnap her from California because I want to see her every day. Just kidding. But seriously." - Hannah

"Candy is such a musical power-house. I'll still listen to songs from "Leaves" just because they're that good! She's also my Savage Umbrella fellow nerd! You want to talk web-comics, because we can talk web-comics. And she's one of the nicest people you can meet! Happy Birthday, Candy! Hope you're having a fun-in-the-sun California birthday!" - Russ

"Thank goodness for the Internet, or I wouldn't have had the chance to get to know Candy at all. That being said, I feel a constant longing to have here, in the room with us, to bathe us in the light of her beauty, grace, and intellect directly. She is wise and complicated and I really hope she has an amazing birthday." - Blake

"Candy is so thorough and diligent and thoughtful, whether it's in creating an opera or creating the password for SU's Twitter account. She's such a trustworthy collaborator and friend. Many happy returns, Candy!" - Tanner

"Candy is so cute and sweet. She's insanely knowledgeable about...like...more things than I can list here and it is amazing. Gosh, I wish she lived in town but I'll settle for her brief but sunshine-y visits and Google hangout silliness. HBD Cutie!" - Heidi
