John,

An honor and a pleasure to meet you as well. I think this was the year of making new friends and I think we all sure did that. I am only sad that we have to impatiently wait another year before we can all have our family reunion again. And Breakfast club!


Are we there yet?


hugs

Coldie

p.s.......Freak Kitchen RULED!

Hope you enjoy the hell out of that Brother Firetribe disc.

It was great to finally meet you John! Even if I was pulling the acid trip during breakfast. I don't function well before my first cup of coffee, and I wasn't giving myself enough time to make the first cup before I headed down. Next year, I'll see if I can find a timer for the coffee-maker, or have a roommate who gets in shortly before I wake up.

 

[AngraRULES]

Thanks John, you're awesome!!
And the CD's you recommended me are as well!

John, you Cheeky bastard! First, what are you doing up so early? I'm still recuperating!

It was awesome to meet you, and everyone else at my PP7. This time was better than the last, and I hope they continue along that vein.

Now let's have fun (yeah, right) getting back to the mundane back in ole El Pisso.

Brother you are so frigging awesome. I told my family what you did, and it brought a tear to their eyes, and they said and i quote" he did this and this was the first time you meet him?" my answer was it was the first time in person, but it was like i had know him forever.
Brother that disc is awesome It's by far the best i got thisweekend, thanks for taking care of me I OWE YOU BIG TIME!!!!!

Dude, I never got to meet you. I asked John(L9) and Aki several times about you and still never ran into you. Unless I did meet you, and the copious amounts of beer affected my memory...in that case, sorry.:zombie:

 

[Dragongrrrl]

Was great to finally meet you John!! The hat rocks - thank you!!! I just wish we'd had more time to hang out - seems as though I hardly saw you at the show. We'll have to remedy that next time around

 

[rottingflesh]

It was great meeting you John... you are the best, wish we could have hung out more.

 

[IceQueen_]

Thanks, John!! It was a pleasure to meet you!!!

 

[longshot9]

\m/ john, was great to meet you also. glad to hear you had a great time.

As a newbie to the show as well, I have to say I'm impressed with the sheer ability to pull off the entire event, and pull it off WELL. Not many places can boast three nights of music to the level that appeared at PP.

Now, if I can just remember all the NAMES of the people I met, much less the BANDS!

 

[JenniferLynn]

It was my first too and I almost didn't come... To think all that I experienced would've never happened... Holy crap...

I met so many freakin' people, ran into and hang with a ton of peeps from home (Nick if ya see this ~ one word for ya ~ WEBSITE, hehehehe)... and I had a bitch of a time with names, saying them much less remembering them... hehehe

 

[WeeboTech]

John, it was great hanging with you in the mornings.
The discs you recommended were spot on brother!

You are one cool dude.
I look forward to hanging with you again in the future.

 

[rrhoadsfan1]

[am_ash2]

Jeez John, I feel gyped (sp) in the "nice to meet you" department. Next year I'll really give you hell!

 

[Mosquito]

[Jax]
