Jimmy.
As many know tomorrow would have been the 29th birthday of a great man, James Owen Sullivan.
Our friends at sevenfold Ink have come up with an alternative to their great tradition of birthday signs for Jimmys birthday this year.
In their blog they said:
"Sevenfold Ink prides itself in always including ALL the fans, even the ones that don't have tattoos. In the few years that Sevenfold Ink has been up, whenever a member of Avenged Sevenfold has a birthday, I always ask people to make signs to put up in the photos section. With the unfortunate passing of Jimmy "The Rev" Sullivan, we all grieved terribly for this amazing man, and will never stop grieving. I had no idea as to whether or not to continue having the signs be sent in on the day that would have been his 29th birthday, February 09, 2010. I was on my way home from work today, and got this idea. Instead of signs, I think we all need to pay respect to the greatest drummer of our generation. Whether you knew him personally, met him a few times, just had the chance to see him live, or just enjoyed the CDs of this amazing band and this amazing man's talent, this is something you can do. On his birthday, all around the world, just light a candle for Jimmy "The Rev" Sullivan. Take a picture of this candle, lit, and make it your default that day, or for the whole month of February from 02/09 until 02/28 and let that flame flicker and dance all day for this wonderful man. I would love to see all of MySpace, all of Twitter, all of Facebook, just have a single candle as your default just for that one day to show your love and support for Jimmy, his family, his friends, and the band. Only A7X fans will know why the candles are a default, but that's all that matters.
Send in your photos to Sevenfold Ink as well. I'll make a separate folder for all the candles of the world that will be lit on 02/09 and keep it up in the gallery. I don't need your name or where you're from for this, just a picture of your burning candle.
Please retweet the link to this blog, repost the link to this blog in MySpace, Facebook WHEREVER YOU'RE REGISTERED and let's make this the biggest fan action in memory of The Rev.
PLEASE ONLY LIGHT A CANDLE ON 02/09/2010
If you have twitter, tweet #therevlivesforever and #foREVer
Thank you.

EDIT: I CHECKED WITH A RELIABLE SOURCE AND HIS BIRTHDAY WAS THE 9TH OF FEBRUARY, NOT THE 10TH, SO PLEASE STOP TRYING TO CORRECT ME IN THE COMMENTS. IF YOU'RE BENT ON THE 10TH AND WANT TO LIGHT THE CANDLE ON THE 10TH INSTEAD OF THE 9TH, GO AHEAD. IT'S THE THOUGHT THAT COUNTS. THANK YOU."
So lets all do this, for Jimmy.
