    I bet if everyone who has been touched by demetrios's kindness were to post in this thread, it would get to 10+ pages really quickly :)

    Just met him in Montreal, and yes, Demetrios is the nicest guy!! So generous and sweet! And thanks for all the work for the pre-show parties, the charities and the fans have so much to thank you for.

    He is most certainly is - very nice guy (and all the way from Halifax too!). It's only now sinking in about the boots (we talked about this last night but I wasn't quite focused). I'm not a collector either, but seeing as I was at the show last night, I may have to pm him on this one. Nice hearing from you TrixieCat!

    Hey Trix! ;)

    I have never had the pleasure of meeting Demetrios nor do I collect bootlegs and such, but he seems like an awesome person.
    Cheers to him.

    yeah Demetrios is a prince among men, it was nice to finally get a chance to talk to him as Hartford was really chaotic at the front of the bar.

    Thank you Demetrios for everything you did with the fundraising and thank you for the raffles. Have a good safe trip back to Halifax and I hope to see you again sometime when a tour is ongoing

    It was even more special to finally win the Demetrios box of goodies at one of the pre-parties, I have had a crush on that box of PJ live love for a while now

    And now she has come home

    my precious !!!

    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.
