Tomcat says:: You, sir, are the king of all king beards--and a master organizer. Pat and I had such a good time. Thank you a million times over. Hope our paths cross soon so that maybe Pat & I can return some of your generous hospitality in some way.

The only bad thing is that I've felt depressed all day that the throw down is over and that Whiskerino almost is. Can you do something about that?

Shularbrau says:: I haven't taken the opportunity to comment a big THANK YOU for this weekend. You have done a wonderful thing here with this site and with the throwdown. I'm proud to be a part of it and it was a pleasure meeting you in person. I get to Nashville every year or so for work... I'll try to look you up next time.

Shularbrau says:: Idea.... Onireksihw!

Maybe you can build a sister site, reverse everything and EVERYDAY we trim just a little bit closer so that we are all clean shaven again 4 months from now.

wonder made says:: You used a word I don't know, which I both love and hate at the same time.
I also love the low-fi shots you do. Clame for a past favorite.

Jake says:: Is it a reverse peephole so you can peek to see if anyone is waiting to jack you with a sock full of pennies?

loutomdon says:: thanks for the kind words. it would have been great to throwdown with you guys.
just a case of bad timing with work.

Mackle says:: it's a DIY fisheye lens and Gavin nailed it - it's just a peephole for a door. So, technically, a photo lens b/c that's not what its intended purpose is for.

Thanks for all the thanks everybody. But, as I said before, this whole thing doesn't work without YOU - so huge thank you's to everyone that is participating.

Ace says:: glad i could be yet another inspiration in lo-fi photos... or well, lets be honest... a cheap way to take cool looking photos.

anyways, good to see you again as i said before. and thanks for making whiskerino as awesome as it could be.

Absolutely says:: right on. i said the exact same thing to jon shell about you. It was a packed weekend and I wished it could have been longer, but these things are good the way they are. Hopefully someday I will be back in Nashville and we can get that beer. Im glad to have meet you Michael and I think what you and your boys have done here is something you should realize is a great thing. I definitely will not forget this experience. Hopefully I will have a refresher in two years...... no pressure.haha. Thanks from all of us.

Blastro says:: Thank you sir, and the same to you! I asked Mandy if we could move to Nashville, but it's not looking good...

Still, I look forward to having a drink and a word one of these days.

And thank you again for all your efforts!

Sir Jellobeard says:: It's been said Michael, a lot, but i don't want you to turn on your modesty mechanisms this time and i want you to let this sneak past your brain and settle right in your heart, right where every thing you see here, and the attraction that guided each and every one of us here, came from. Everything you see on Whiskerino is an expression of your own pure intent because you allowed it to come forth into being through your own good and free will. Can you imagine what this place would be like if the creator of Whiskerino wasn't you? It would be a mess, Michael. Yes, it works because of us, but you must understand that we are all simply riding the spark that shines forth through you, and I can't sincerely say enough how important that is, and how grateful we all are that you are here on this earth. Every moment, you are healing this planet and making it a better place to live because of your contributions upon it. So thank YOU Mackle, but no buts this time, please, just let that sink in. You deserve everything.
