    One of these days I would like to meet you in person, D. You have been such an asset to this community and have clearly touched the hearts of so many.

    I have personally benefitted from your generosity, and wish you were able to take me up on the Boston II ticket offer, as I would have liked to thank you in person. Sounds like you hit a homerun with the pre-parties, and I give you a lot of credit. Your selflessness and kindness is very far reaching, and you never appear to be too busy to help someone with a need or request.

    Thanks for everything, D!

    Take care, amigo.

    For those who scoff at "Jamily" in my name... 9 years ago, when my first daughter was born there were jokes about whether my priority would be my family or PJ. I smiled and quipped "I am a JamilyMan." What was a family joke became a hated term among jammers. Didn't see that one coming!

    I only got in for a second on night 1 (I had my daughter with me and had to do things for her on day 2), but it was nice to say Hi- it looked like people were having a great time; I bought some treats for my cats that benefited the Cat Rescue group. (The kitties have gone crazy on kitty drugs (catnip) today.) Kudos to you for putting together some great fundraisers!

    I'd also like to add thanks to Mr. Merkinball for his kindness - may I say the Delta is a lovely hotel and you should stay there if you go to Toronto. Everyone was very nice.

    d'oh! sorry about that.
    yeah. i was pretty excited.
    when you have that feeling, you just have to let it out.
    can't hold it inside. let the music flow through your soul.
    if it comes out bad .. fuck it.

    hahaha

    well, the fact that a thread has been dedicated to thanking you....I guess you can at least agree that you're a really nice guy.

    I got into Mtl late last Sat. so we weren't able to make the party, but kudos to you Demetrios for all you've done to set these parties up. You're awesome! I was secretly wishing back when you were looking for a ride from Mtl to Toronto that someone would be able to give you one. You're a good person!

    Had some chats with D at the Montreal fundraiser and he told me he was Greek.

    So we can add Demetrios to long list of Greek Gods. (God of the boots and freebies of course) ;)

    And D, if you ever need help in future fundraisers, you can count on me. I got the hang of it now. :p
