HELLO .NET!!!!

This year has been an amazing year for me. Got a job, got love, got shelter and saw an epic amount of phish. Now seeing the epic amount of phish would not have been possible without the kindness and awesomeness of some .net members.

Let's face it: the internet is a scary, big, and worse yet, anonymous place. It's hard to gauge whether or not someone on the internet is going to be honest, come through, keep up their end of the bargain etc. Wouldn't it be nice if we had a thread devoted to .netters who are known to be awesome?

I propose people share their POSITIVE stories involving trades or favors done by .netters. It's a great way to pay thanks to people who have helped out the community by perpetuating a positive image for our whole scene. Also its a great way to help ease someone who may not be as familiar with some .netters as others and could be nervous making a deal on the internet.

***Once again I'd like to say - KEEP THESE POSITIVE not that we shouldn't hold people who screw others accountable - I just feel like negativity would take away from the purpose of this thread.

@Pweso81 - hooked me up with tix for 12.28 - thanks again!
@photo420 - hooked me up with tix for 12.30 - thanks again!

Almost forgot! Back in May I was a victim of the Roy and Jeryl debacle at Yasgur's. @DrPeterVenkman SAVED MY LIFE when he gave me a lead on the last hotel room in a hotel 15 minutes from the venue. Saved my weekend in a huge way. Still greatly appreciated!

I could post a list as long as my arm.....but

MJZ1974: need I say more???

Oh, and I also worked out a 1 for 1 trade with @Badmustard thanks!! cya tomorrow

Bump bc I feel like we could still use this thread.

@forbins0218 Spreading the Junta around

@CookDog @phan83 @caliphishead. All 3 are kind, generous, and hilarious guys to see the phish with

@strangedesign designed some beer labels for my homebrew. Also a very chill .netter

@edsullivan genuinely kind and hilarious guy.

@johnnyd he's the real deal, and not just because he's got a fish by his name.

@slambomartinez. Hilarious, down to earth kid

@spencur6 and the rest of his crew with hard to mention user names, all great kids to hang with.

There are a lot more, but these are regular .netters I've interacted with in real life.

@jaydubya and the mrs. Both awesome people and organizing a bus was the a great addition to my shows this summer
@slambomartinez another great person to be with on lot, and also very photogenic with is wasted face.
@tripsforjoeg was able to help take my friends pit tickets of me at DC.

@conradjohansen sucks. He smokes all of my pot at the benefit show then chews on cardboard.

gotta give a shout out for @phishdotnet for being there every time i turn on the pc at work and home...
so, for all the ones that manage and maintain the forum...they deserve a big thanks....@admins

Also to to the people that i have meet through this forum...I got to hang with @happy_happy_allmyfriends and met him first in Camden when he hooked me up with some kick ass stickers pre- SBIX that he made just for his crew, but offered them to me...Then hooked me up this fall with the soupergroove fest and we chilled together and partied like it was 1999...
@darkstar was the next person i got to meet and camp together with him @og_pinecones and two other dot netters for AC.
Also at AC i met several others such as @the_Crested_Hogchoker, @GhettoSloth, @Commander_riker and several others (but due to LSD) i dont remember all of their screen names...
I also have to say how much fun it was meeting @DJPhresh and hanging out at the soupergroove fest and him sharing his great beer and stuff...

what a great year it has been and look forward to meeting a bunch more of the great folks on dot net next summer at the 30yr summer festival or AC, Camden, Philly or any other show i can get me ass to....

and i cant forget @the_Landlady for helping with my JoonzeBeach Tshirts and a few other designs....She rocks...you need to check out her designs and buy a shirt from her if you didnt already...

Leave me alone.
Stop tagging my name.

@johnnyd hooking me up with some tasty Heady Topper!!

Too many little favors and kind deeds to recall them all. That's what this community is. But, my first and favorite show partner, one who is down to lace up his shoes and do what needs doing, a true fan of what music can do, and who can put up with my chaotic methods is @Rutherford_B_Raves.

@KindTrades @SydNashun and @DanceTheJig728 helped make this past summer unforgettable. Random meet-ups, solid transactions should any have occurred, getting me 2nd row N2 of SPAC, and just giving me a big effin' grin every time I see their crazy asses. Those that know how to party, and get loose, socialize and dance but who are ultimately there to experience musical transcendence of the highest order. See you guys in NYC.

@golden_gorilla is a stand-up gal who just happens to be in the Indy neighborhood. She came to a meeting place more convenient for me than her, and was happy to do so for a face KC ticket. Hope to see her again on NYE.

@Bones is new to the scene. Still a teenager until December, but after seeing one show at Bonnaroo, she made it with me to DC, STL, OKC, and Dicks, and will be making the journey to NYC before long. Great companion, with all the joy and enthusiasm that comes from freshly falling in love with this band. I love being able to witness someone's "I get it now" show. Makes me see it all with new eyes and hear it with new ears.

Oh, and Steve from Cashiers, NC--it was a pleasure to share a hotel in Birmingham, the drive to Atlanta, and the show there. Stand up guy even when he's sitting down.

Amanda from OH--thanks for the ride from KC--you really saved my ass!!!

And, for those folks that I've been in touch with, I've succeeded in landing all four nights, so I'm set. Worked my ass off trying to make deals since oct. 20 and it's finally paid off. What a great community! Can't wait to see all my new phish family friends, and meet some more.

@lochnessunitmonster sold me a 2011 NYE ticket for face about an hour before the show last year.

@magilla94 welcomed me into his crew for 3 nights at AC this summer. Awesome guy.

@conphucius is an amazing person with a heart of gold.

There are too many people here to list the various positive, kind things I've seen and/or heard about on a day-to-day basis, but the amount of good people on this board continues to astound me.

@Lefty, @ivy_light,
