I had no idea that it would be the beginning of an incredible journey with so many great people which have become life-long friends over the past 5 years (I don’t need to mention names because you all know who you are). I have to give the biggest shout-out to Kimmy, who 2 weeks after GGP we decided on a whim to fly to Pennsylvania for the 10/1/04 Vote For Change show at PSU, and then a month later became my roommate for a year or so.
My head is filled with pages of memories, thoughts, and reflections I’d love to include in this 20,000th post. Instead I’ll keep it short (I know, too late ) and I’ll simply say thank you for 5 wonderful years and I hope for many many more.
With heartfelt thanks,
Toups
P.S. I can’t do a 20k post without a shout out to Jolynn.
P.S.S. RIP Roi

Toups (a.k.a The Mayor),
Before I joined Ants, I knew there were people out there in the DMB world that loved the band as much as I do and ALSO traveled to see them across the world - and their other friends called them crazy!!
You are the epitome of that person!!! And, I'm honored to be one of your friends! (BEAR

You are part of some of my unforgettable DMB memories since I've met our Ants family...you getting put in the lots jail @ Alpine '07
, sharing the SPAC '08 experience (at Tricia and Tommy's, in the tree house and at the bar after N2), being one of the first persons to give me a
at Berkeley last year...they go on and on and on!!!
Now I have you to look for and want at a show when I'm there!!
East Meets West!!!
See You @ Toupstown!!! (BEAR
