HOW DO YOU SAY THANK YOU

How do you say thank you, I have been asking myself that for a few days now.  Those two little words do not seem enough.  From every performer that has been at BS's this past year, to the strong stand we made in Stand Up to 2 Cancer.  The birthday party, Halloween Party, the very many people that visited the venue and amusement park ....the friendships formed.  To the most overwhelming of all, the Holiday Gala and the out pouring of love and support I received when I explained about my health and having to close the venue.  There are not enough words.  Xander Nichting, Parker Static, Tyro Hollywood, Max Kleene, Dango, Quartz, Duplicat, Eliz Wantanabee, Rocky Hilburton, the many venue owners,  friends that I have known since I first started sl.  The tributes, you all had me blubbering like a baby..

Normally, I would send out gifts or like last year, the many most fascinating sims that you should visit.  This year no gifts, no places to visit.  The gift I have for you is my heart.  I very rarely share my personal on FB or SL, never wanting to complain or receive sympathy.  This year I did, and though it was hard for me to share, each of you wrapped me in support and love.  Thank you are two words.....such little words in comparison to what you have truly given me.  Know that my arms both in rl and sl are wrapped around each of you.  I love you for what you do and have accomplished and how much joy you have given me. 

May you have the most joyous Christmas surrounded by those you love, and the New Year bring you the very best.

HOLIDAY GALA AND THE FUTURE OF BS'S

 This has to be the most difficult notecard I have ever written.  Many of you are friends that know me well and know that I have been on an organ transplant list for many years, some of you are aware that last year I was diagnosed with a stage 4 lymphoma (non aggressive though and slow growing).  Between the failing organ and the stage 4 it knocked me out of a transplant and out of chemo.  So it has been race to see which would get worst faster.  After holding its own and getting worse very slowly over the years, it turns out the failing organ jumped into the lead very quickly.  This has caused some things that have changed my limitations.  Unfortunately I am not able to meet a venue schedule anymore, as I can get out of it, not be able to keep up things as my motor abilities can slow down drastically, or even just have to pass out during the middle of a line up.  None of this is fair to the guests of BS's or the performers.  You have all given me so much over the years.  I will be closing BS's except for special events and our last line ups will be the Holiday gala.

The past 5 and half years have given us so very much as a venue, I hope you will join us as we celebrate our Holiday Gala going out in style.

I am not leaving sl in as much as I am forced into accepting some new limitations on me.  I will make rounds of the different venues and keep up with the directory, with Stand Up 2 Cancer, with the blog (though it has kind of fallen off the past couple of months it will make a come back) 

Thank you all for all that you have given over the past few years.  Friendships have formed that will never be lost.  Performers will obtain me more as a stalker.  I do love each and everyone of you for you have all touched my life in so many ways.

NOW LETS CLOSE THE VENUE DOWN IN STYLE
