Gratitude & Exhiliration

I just need to get this off my chest.

The Splinter has been going like a train. After little more than a month the group has grown to 50+ people, and every single DJ that stepped up for a set has had a living, warm, fun crowd. So many sexy, eclectic, disturbed, funny, happy and warm people have been coming to the Splinter, and the audience is growing by the week.

I'm getting comments like "Jaz, this place is amazing, I feel so at home here!" and "I love the place is so easy, so relaxed, so welcoming and low pressure". It seems I have made the place that I wanted it to be: a no-pressure, free, welcoming bar for people of all walks of life, and everyone mixes in a loving, intelligent atmosphere.

The DJ's are having a blast, including myself. Seren regularly expresses her joy of DJ'ing at the Splinter, as does Dexter. Bionic may not do it so regularly, but s/he, too, has expressed the sheer fun s/he's having while cranking out the tunes.

This is a big thanks to you guys, to all the people who have been to the Splinter from the very beginning as well as all the new people dropping in every day. I am touched by how you take the place that I created and provide, and make it yours; make it ours.
the popular saying goes 'come for the music, stay for the people', well, this is a big fat 'thank you' to all those people who you stay for. You make this place thrive and grow and add to the energy that's been poured in lovingly. You make this happen.

I am grateful for your patronage, and even more so for you being you. Every face is different, yet every face returning makes me smile. you make me feel good by making the Splinter complete. In two words: you rock!

Thank you for being in the Splinter. I hope you will enjoy the shows to come, and enjoy eachother like you have done so far. The Splinter wouldn't be what it is without you, and I want you to know it.

Thank you.
