bradm Posted March 31, 2005 Report Share Posted March 31, 2005 I joined a website called "phishsanctuary.com" back August, 2001. Since then, I've been to an untold number of shows, had my world expanded beyond anything I could have imagined (I now have friends from coast to coast, literally), have found a way to utilize my resources and skills to give joy to people's lives, and had more fun than just about any other period in my life. And I've spent a lot of time posting stuff. Three and a half years, five thousand posts: a lot of questions asked, a lot of questions answered, a lot of rides begged (and received), a lot of "download available" notices, a lot of URLs included, a lot of Google searching, and lot of pointing-and-clicking through the jambands.ca menus and buttons. Here, then, is a quick/small list of some of my favourites of what I've posted: Back in June, 2002, nero played Cafe Dekcuf, and it was a theme night: "nero goes Hawaiian". The next day, I posted a somewhat impressionistic description of the night. If you pretend it was actually badly written by Samuel R. Delany, it might read a little better. On March 11, 2003, I posted some reminiscences about my Dad, on the first anniversary of his death. And, finally, last August, a GTB show happened to coincide with the third anniversary of seeing nero for the first time. What will the next five thousand posts hold? Probably much of the same; I'm nothing if not consistent... Aloha, Brad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaidy Mae Posted March 31, 2005 Report Share Posted March 31, 2005 WOW! That's awesome Brad! Congrats on the big 5000. It was nice to see your older posts (as I've only really been around the board for a short while now). You are completely right when you said that you've found a great community here. I have met so many kind souls in the jamband scene, on the Sanctuary and across the continent. Hats off to all of you guys! You rock! I've got a lot of work to do before I get to 5000. Fingers crossed for another office job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Low Roller Posted March 31, 2005 Report Share Posted March 31, 2005 That's wicked Brad that you can remember specific posts that date that far back. I barely remember what I posted last week. Keep on posting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Evil_Mouse Posted March 31, 2005 Report Share Posted March 31, 2005 I saw that counter climbing up to its incipient Big Round Figure, and thought, Wow. You always have such totally enjoyable and spot-on appropriate posts, Brad, and set a good example for budding board junkies like me. Keep 'em coming!

mark tonin Posted March 31, 2005 Report Share Posted March 31, 2005 Five thousand posts ... impressive! Five thousand thoughtful posts ... even more impressive!! OK, maybe some of those 5000 posts didn't require much thought, but seriously Brad, your contributions to the Sanctuary are very much appreciated by me and many others. Peace, Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
