Zackle says:: You already know how I feel, Gavin.

Some friendships, especially the online variety, can be fleeting. I have a feeling ours will be the opposite.

Moustache May, yeard, or otherwise, I look forward to having you around for a good long time.

The fact that you live somewhat close helps make the end of this less sad. Beers on me at your soonest convenience, pal.

motke says:: The bright morning sun burst through the window, showering the room with warmth and understanding. A bird, one that could possibly be eaten by a human or large mammal or cat, sat on the ledge, looking into the recently warmed room, hoping that the people inside would give him some hot cocoa or a friend to play with. Maybe an action figure that looked like a bird. Or maybe a French maid.
Posted: Feb 29th, 2008 - 4:28pm

motke says:: really enjoyed meeting you. please email me.

Chally says:: My friend, I only got to know you in the electronic realm. I would have liked to meet you in person. But in my mind, there's a complete sense of fondness for you. You've supported my quest and many others here... often, the days I'd have few or no comments, you were there - like a reassuring buddy. Thank you. I look forward to meeting you one day.

SAWASDEE KRUP

Until then farewell and best wishes to you and your family.

creole says:: It was a pleasure meeting you at Throwdown Gavin...glad to finally get a face to face.
Posted: Feb 29th, 2008 - 7:26pm

Mackle says:: I am sad that I didn't get to talk to you more at the Throwdown. I feel that way about a lot of people but I could tell just from exchanging a few words that you are a kind individual and someone worth spending quality time with. I hope that there are opportunities in the future for us to continue down this road that Whiskerino has started... I think highly of you and hope that the world brings great things to you.

Reading that back sounds extremely cheesy and a LITTLE bit creepy. Maybe.

Also, your beard is a force to be reckoned with.

Ace says:: gavin, like ive said to you before, you are special to me. my first real beard encounter on the phone, as well as in person, you were the first beard that i had a one on one chat with in person too. basically, my whiskerino life would be really different if you werent here. im glad that despite the fact that neither of us knew anyone else here, we were able to become friends and make so many more friends along the way. and im glad that we had time to tell each other some crazy co-worker beard related stories in nashville. your beard rules mine any day of the week and i hope that we get to hang out again real soon. keep in touch man and stay as awesome as you truly are.

and for the record, i think your family is the cutest on here hands down. i hope to meet them someday.
