edited October 2009 in The Porch
Let me just start off by saying that I've had a very rough week in my personal life. I get home from work today and check the mail and there is a package from my boy arq (Jose). Low and behold this is what was waiting for me:

I can't thank you enough Jose for your generosity and friendship- to a dude that you have never even met- but that will all change when PJ comes back to Florida next year. :mrgreen:

Anyway, I just wanted to say a big thank you to Jose- you really made my day, bro.

    Sorry you are having a rough week dude. I bet that cheered things up a bit though! That was super cool of Jose so props to you Jose for thinking of your bros!

    Next thing...that is a sacred shirt. Don't let some fucker from Oklahoma buy that shit from you!! :mrgreen:

    Well if you're going to more shows, buy a shirt and sell it for face value to a friend here on the board, later that friend will help you later, that way you create a network of friend helping each other out and the best thing will be when you meet them in person and enjoy with them a awesome PJ pre and post gig! :mrgreen:

    it helped out more than anyone could ever know- thanks Jose.

    And I'll NEVER sell my shirt. And for those who are wondering, these shirts are like the old school PJ ones- much thicker than the crap that they have been selling the past couple of years

    Nice one arq! *BIG thumb up* :D

    Hope you're week gets better, Roger. {{{sending good vibes your way}}} :)

    this is not an empty gesture, since I started writing in the forum I've being receiving the generosity of other fans, there's some unnecessary bad vibe here but normally the goodness is overwhelming!

    Oh I agree and that's what I was saying! PJ fans are so generous, kind and giving and your giving of the shirt to Roger was another wonderful example of this :)

    I couldn't agree more- I actually meant to put that in the OP as well. There's always going to be a bunch of negative people here- really where ever you go- but the good people out number the bad here by a ton!!!
