Whiskerino 2009 : Profile : dschonn

Dschonn says:: I can't express my emotions at the end of this. I have made lasting friendships and cross-country journeys that would never have been possible if not for this website and its predecessors. I thank Mackle for providing the space and everyone involved for making this the incredible, indescribable experience that it is. Thanks.

And clame for my throwdown pictures. They are rough, but they are all I have.

Sir Jellobeard says:: in answer to your first question, in hindsight, yes, ESPECIALLY the ziggy stardust one.

to your other question, no, not real at all.

in response to your words on valentine's day, yes, all of this is quite real.

as for my photo taken the day after, that was for you. look into it.

i also remember our conversation well. and, as far as staying in touch, lets do that. joelartz at gmail is where you will find me. you're on the right track, that's for sure. glad you are out there.

be well, friend. talk to you soon.

Ula O cealleigh says:: Dschonn

I promise to buff up on my grammar & punctuation.

in all your photos you look pretty serious.
But in the throwdown pics you have a different vibe all together..
I enjoyed seeing those photos because i got to see a different perspective on you.
& it was very cool & happy one you truly were beaming with pleasure, fun and good times.

I have loved all your work right through both 09' & 07'
Thankyou.

peace bro.

mackle says:: This is going to sound REALLY weird but I feel like, in some way, Whiskerino helped you flourish a little bit. You've obviously got your own thing going for you but I have a theory that Whiskerino acted as a conduit to find some confidence in your being. You are an amazing person and mindblowingly intelligent.. I often find myself jealous of the fact that you know so much about language and history and all sorts of things without even trying to stretch your brain much.

I will see you in May so I will keep this brief but you are a great dude and I am glad Whiskerino introduced us (or maybe it was MM but you get what I mean).

mackle says:: ps. if I haven't told you - this style of yours that is way more 40's noir detective than wilderness lotr totally works for you and I hope you continue to embrace it wholeheartedly.

Terry Masters says:: let me start with the fact that you are emily's favorite person ever! and i'll second that. you are a smart, funny, quick-witted interesting guy who made whiskerino and the throwdown that much more fun. keep making your own clothes. keep speaking german so you don't forget it. and keep taking awesome pictures when MM 2010 starts up.

hankbobs says:: John - I think I'm over the time limit. but its worth a try. It was awesome getting to hang with you in Nashville, I hope it happens again. I saw your pic above, and I'm 90% certain its the first time I've seen you without any facial hair. Its kind of shocking actually, but that's what happens I suppose. Hopefully you will scrape together a DTM for may! I may find myself in Portland sometime soon, and will look you up if I do. take care my friend, it was great growing and showing with you.

mOtke says:: The babbling brook beside him gave off the strong odor of yeast and pure wilderness. He sampled the various vegetation around him, searching for the perfect ingredients for his Wipperwere stew. The deer observing from a far weren't really deer, but angry, bald, bearded dudes that could shapeshift. He was afraid but confident. He used a laser that he had been saving specifically for a time like this. Who won? The guy with the beard. That's how most of these stories end, really. Except for the stories where the bearded guy eats fast food and shaves. I don't care for those.
