    I thought all the songs sounded great, except I don't like Betterman like that.

    :mrgreen:

    And I agree, it was beautiful.

    First count of $ raised is about $1800, will be a little more once I figure out $ coming from a few other places.

    THANKS to everyone for coming out, having fun and donating!

    Not sure if everyone knew, we had so many people there that the fire marshals were about to shut us down! Think we were fairly successful :lol:

    We had so much fun and wasn't the show just the very best?

    fantastic St Louis. They have Old Style beer...yes!

    My wife and I actually pointed that out as one of the highlights...that version of Betterman. I thought it was cool.

    Sorry we didn't get to meet you, but we did get to meet some cool people at the Field House and contributed to the raffle...non-winners, but that's the story of my life, lol.

    Thank you again. It was a lot of fun and always awesome to meet new people from the Jamily.

    Our house is divided on that one... I thought it was an absolutely amazing version of Betterman, but my husband didn't like it....IMO, it is one of the best I've ever heard.
    Hearts and thoughts they fade....
    fade away...

    I am at peace with my lust.....for Eddie.

    Great work by everyone. Mindi you did amazing and it was great to meet you in the chaos that was your day. Foxy Mop is was nice to meet you too. Great fundraiser. As a bipolar individual, I was really touched by the cause and the event has caused me to look further into the cause and see new ways to bring awareness to the stigma that comes along w/ mental illness. Amazing work all around.

    (if anyone say a 6'5" guy with glasses in an "I'm Analog" shirt inside or sitting outside...that was me)

    Thanks again for all the hard work everyone

    Bipolar here too. I picked NAMI since I am newly diagnosed. Would love to get rid of the stigma that all people with mental illness are crazy people on the street corner randomly shouting, or sitting in the corner drooling. We can be functioning people in society.

    I have a bunch of brochures and literature if you didn't pick any up at the party, I would be happy to send to you.

    I believe I met you at the end of the party while we were packing up? I probably seemed rushed, wish we could have compared notes. Next time :mrgreen:

    I had an awesome time. Glad to hear you raised a good chunk of change. Me and a few people were outside when we saw the firetrucks pull up someone did mention they were there to shut it down but they were joking. Guess it turned out to be almost true.

    Oh YAY!!! Glad you enjoyed the BlueBerry Hill gc! :mrgreen:

    AND THANKS!!!! So much, it's a lot of work to do a party, but so worth it to meet all the people!

    LOVED meeting people I hadn't met before, and seeing ones I only get to see a few times a year.

    Great show...thought he brought a lot of sound for just one guy and a guitar. Falling Slowly is gold.

    Wonderful pre-party! Thumbs up to Mindi and Melissa! You guys did a fabulous job...you had so much stuff to give away.

    Mandy and I had a great time.

    Aren't you the one that sat down at my wife and I's table and chatted for a bit? Said you lost 25lbs and hadn't drinken in a while? I thought I recalled you saying this was your screenname. If so, it was great meeting you and thanks for the chat! We enjoyed your company.

    Whoever recommended going to Pappys thanks i have been meaning to thank that person. It was in a thread somewhere on here. Also the cheese from there called provel (not sure on the spelling) was awesome.

    I must admit i was not a fan of the local brewery Schlafly (again not sure on the spelling) had one that i liked but i can't remember.

    Hope to see you all again soon. Oh and anyone who called me from a 657 area code i forgot to add your name to my phone i had many beers and now i dunno who it is. Called around 3:50 if that helps.

    MMMMMMM Provel. They sell containers of it at Sams here.

    I'm so glad everyone had such a great time. Did anyone get any good pictures? The organization we raised $ for wants to include some pictures in their next newsletter. I'd love to get some of the fire marshals that showed up because of the amount of people we had there :shock: :oops:

    See you all at Alpine I hope :mrgreen:
