Love to all my Bowlmani peoples!!

[Andy of [TGA]]

Hello everyone!

It's Andy and Chie from TGA.


I want to thank everyone personally from the bottom of my heart for all your support and the trouble you went through to support TGA for Bowlmani festival 06.

I must apologize that everything was not 100%. We wanted to have the cable TV / couches and lounge set up before the event, but because of our opening just 3 weeks prior we had to put other matters first like the IIDX Monitor, Supernova and Fever.

I promise that I am working hard to make Bowlmani festival 07 even better.

Sunday morning during the event I got word my brother died. I wanted to keep it under wraps as to not ruin the mood and the atmosphere all of you worked so hard to create and share with each other. My brother, being a musician would have wanted you all to enjoy the community and friendship.

Because of his passing, a leaking roof, a broken boiler and other catastrophies I didn't have the time to sit down and give everyone here the proper words of appreciation you deserve. I apologize for the delay.

I really, really do think the world of everyone that made the trip. I also apologize that I did not have time to sit down and enjoy talking to everyone as long as I would have liked, but unfortunately as the company president, my job was to make sure that you had fun and you had everything you needed.

All our staff members, Anthony, Paul, Clay, Gavin, G-Man and Amanda did an amazing job. They all gave 100% to make sure everything was in order. You have them to thank for their hard work and for the event's success. Also our special thanks goes to Setzer for opening up communications with kors-k.

Even as I write this post, I had to take a 2 hour pause to settle a near fistfight between a roofer and a landscaper outside TGA.. lol the fun never ends.

In closing, before something explodes, I will close and again thank you for everything, it was a true honor and pleasure to spend time with all of you.

Now remember, that you don't have to wait until next year to come and visit us. If you missed bowlmani fest, and want to make a trip let us know, we will be happy to assist.

Well, you all know TGA is your home no matter how far away or close you are. I hope everyone stays in touch and visits again soon.

On behalf of the TGA Staff:

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Andy

I'm terribly sorry to hear about your loss.

I wasn't able to make it this year, but I've started saving for 07. Everyone who went said it was a fucking amazing time; it sounds like you and your staff did a great job. Congrats on your success, and I'm hoping I can help contribute to it next year.

Thank you so much Andy, I've started making plans for next year all ready, and I'm trying to get others interested in well. I give you my condolences, and I hope to see you and all your staff again next year!

I had an amazing time and got to play some bemani I had previously no chance to play. I can not wait for next year.

I'm immensely sorry for you loss, however.

[UseMyExciter]

I also am sorry for your loss, and I also had a great time at Bemanifest and I also got to play a lot of Bemani that I never played before.

I should be up later today (probably at 1 or 1:30), but I think my little brother and his friend are coming (sometimes I want to strangle his friend... hopefully he won't come)

Andy you put on a great festival and you got the entire community's support when it comes to putting on another one. Expect me there next year, and probably a few times before that

[Ledline]

Sucks to hear what happened, Anthony :<
I will definately be there next year, hopefully I can stay all of the days and stay in the same hotel of the majority of the atendees; and even see what new things BMfest 07 will hold.

I have already expressed my condolences, but I shall do so again, as well as to let you know that my experience there has peaked more of my friends' interests in being able to go next year. So count us in towards making Bowl-mani Fest 2007 even greater!!

また会いましょうよ

Thanks for all your hard work man. Can't wait for next years BowlmaniFest. I'll be bringin as many crazy Texans with me as I can!!!

[UKN]

Thank you so much Andy, I will be there again next year!

[EdBoy]

Although I wasn't there, my parents are planning to be in MA next July so I might be able to attend (I'll be 13 then. ).

And sorry for your loss. It was smart not to let it get in the way.

[Hasuko]

I'm sorry to hear about your brother. Hopefully he's making music in another place, somewhere out there.

I wasn't able to make it to this due to work, but hopefully next year I can go and meet all the cool people and hang out with everyone.

[TougaKiryuu]

Even though I didn't get to go, can I give you love anyways just because your Andy and your one of the most awesome people on the face of the planet?
