Fans Give Julian “Old Man” Casablancas Pleasure
How cute is this? Strokes fan Sandra over at WhatsThatSound.org thought of a great way to wish Julian Casablancas a very happy 28th birthday with a special website composed of photos of fans with their birthday greeting.
Elisa and Patty followed their lead and organized a group of fans called the “Non-Ryans” who didn’t make the first submission deadline to do the same. Julian saw these sites and sent them all this thank you photo:

i wouldn’t mind giving him pleasure…
2. Sandra | 2:51 am on August 26th, 2006
It actually was wts.org who came up with the idea first…
3. Sandra | 2:52 am on August 26th, 2006
and I’m sorry but that site makes me confused…

his cheek bones make him look prettier.

omg i heart julian:: hes looking tan and thin!
28 huh, when do we start calling him grandpa?

yeah it was originally wts.org (sarah), actually) who came up with the idea. at the last minute(like the night before his b-day) my friend decided to make a a birthday page also personally from our little group since our picture didn’t get submitted on time to the other page. and that picture was sent to all others who made the other site and sent her, being Juliet, an email wishing the best to Jules on his special day.
so yes, the credit should really go to sarah for coming up with the idea, we were just another group who followed her steps, not trying to jock or anything…
and a breif “history” or whatever about the nonryans can be found on that website, where it says “why nonryans?”
i know it’s a misunderstanding, since most thing it’s like an anti-ryan group, but it most deifantely isn’t. if you’d like to know, you can read how they got started.
hope that clears a few things up

he looks like Richard Hell with a tan and without all of the other stuff
10. Patty | 8:46 am on August 27th, 2006
first of all. i didn’t want to copy you, sandra. i thought it would be hard for me to send the video that we made julian** so i was going to make a simple page where they can go too. but at the end i decided to put something together. it was really a last minute thing.
non-ryans know who they are and what the name stands for. if anyone wants to know then its in the site we made for julian. pretty much all our history is right there if anyone wants to know.
** video was only made just to see if .gif would work on slide shows since someone mentioned that they were gonna make a slide show and we were submitting a .gif

“Elisa and Patty followed their lead and organized a group of fans called the “Non-Ryans” who didn’t make the first submission deadline to do the same.”
I dont know what you meant in the quote above about not making the first submission deadline but this was only for the non-ryans to submit pictures and not for everyone.

Hai guys,

Wooo! Get you “anonymous”. You’ve made my day with your post.
Anyway, I’m only on here coz I love Mr. C too and I’m searching for new pictures for my desktop and came across this site. So just wanted to confirm that he IS the most beautiful man in the world.
