Official "Thank you Andy" Thread for Bowl-mani Fest 07

I haven't seen anything like this pop up here on Bemanistyle yet, and I think we really need one of these. Andy deserves everyone's thanks for putting together such an amazing event for us.

Andy, this year was above and beyond all of my expectations. I can't thank you enough for everything you did to make BMF '07 so great. It really is the best Bemani-related event to ever occur in America, and you've managed to pull it off two years in a row with little to no serious issues. I've never met anyone so dedicated and passionate as you are both for business as well as its community. You really know how to give us your all.

Thank you Andy, this was by far the best week of 2007. I'm already looking forward to coming out there again next summer and seeing all of you guys again.

Andy,
you are the man! You took a small town bowling alley, and turned it into a gamers dream world. Thank you for all that you have done! I love going to TGA and feel very lucky it is within driving distance. Keep up the fantastic work everyone...TGA is one of my favorite places to be in the whole world....THANK YOU!

I know I posted a thank you on TGA's website, but I'll post one here too. Thank you so much for putting on this awesome festival. It was INCREDIBLE. I loved every minute of it. I met some of the best people ever this past week, and I'll never forget them.

I must say, and I probably don't say this enough, but I love what you've done with that building. Every little thing that you've done has made that place better. The paint in the bowling alley has brightened up that room so much, and is much more inviting than the off-white and orange dungeon as you call it.

BTW, You got me for another bowling season. 32 flat rates, WOOT! Now all I need are bowlers.

I don't think that the festival would have been nearly as great if it hadn't been for all the hard work done by Andy and his staff. I was nothing short of impressed with everyone's kind and helpful attitude, especially at the snack bar, and really loved the warm and welcoming atmosphere established at TGA both last year and this year. Although the events and games in and of themselves are enough to keep most people coming back, I think it needs to be said that the people are what really make the place great. Thank you for all your dedication towards making TGA a fun and classy place, and making Bowl-mani Fest the best week of the year.

You missed out. It's seriously some of the best chicken evar. :9

That aside, this has by far been the best community gathering I've ever been to. The hard work and effort not only you but the rest of the staff put into this is nothing short of amazing, and despite the few small problems I had while at TGA, it still turned out amazing. I don't think I'll ever be able to say thank you enough to all of you for putting this amazing thing on. Thank you so much for this guys, I had the time of my life and I'm looking very forward to next year.

Better late than never, so big thanks Andy for getting this all coordinated again for this year. I like that things were a bit more organized, and I definitely like that the AC was working throughout the building. I shudder to think what the game room would've been like without that. Thanks for your continued dedication to rhythm gaming and to the community, it is much appreciated!

Andy, you're awesome, and I need you to thank Richard Bagman for me as well when you get the chance.

Thanks again for putting up with all of our shenanigans and for just being awesome in general as always. Your dedication to TGA is amazing, and we appreciate it more than we often say. Keep up the awesome work, we love you man.
