Three joyous years of happiness and bliss

- Start date
today's my 3 year anniversary.
what, was I the first guy to sign up? not that that means anything, just that I have too much time on my hands.
I do remember you posting on smog for people to let you know if there was any interest in a Bukowski forum. and I sent you a barely literate email with 2 words: do it.
and now look how literate I is!

Shit. Is it already 3 years? Of course, I'm drunk now and sentimental, but it seems like nothing that there was a post on smog.net, saying somethingl like: maybe I'll start a forum, let's look how it turns out you fuckers.
It turned out alright.

I know - and I do! :D
- I signed up two months after the forum was launched, at March 16, 2006. I used to check out the Buk stuff at smognet regularly and one day there was a forum there! And then my fate was sealed! :p
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY EVERYBODY! - May the next three years be just as fun as the past three have been!

I'm glad I tripped over this place about a year and a half ago. Good people, good discussions, and generally, good fun!
Not to mention all the other authors I've discovered through (or on) here too. So good all around.

I was aquainted with Bukowski long before I knew Bukowski. I now have 7 of Fante's books.
No, I have yet to dip into or sniff them. But I can't wait.
I really 'found' Bukowski when I saw 'Born Into This'. That poem will resonate with me until the day I die. It is what led me to this place in August of 08';a crazy hectic exciting month for me, to be sure.

This place is a wonder to behold...& I'm lucky to be here & learning from you all! For my money this place is one of the few authorities on Bukowski--only his friends & family know more than this collective--&, as such, can help make sure that his work lasts.
To MJP & to you all, I raise a glass in thanks.

Without a doubt
I have learned more about the things I care about >music, books, art, snappy conversation and umami food preparation than any other site.
I love this place.
Thanks MJP-you have fused your creative and technical abilities to create a community and still kept your, Yeah well fuck you and your world edge. (when needed). Thats not a small accomplishment.
And to the rest of us-Yes! Always Yes!!

The rent is cheap, but there's no hot water or heat, so move in at your own risk.
And thanks everyone. But you made this place, not me. Look at the members list ordered by the date people signed up. Those first few pages are the people who kick started this thing and these are the maniacs who have kept it going this long.
But yeah, without a strong foundation this would have died on the vine.

Congrats on three years, mjp and thanks to everyone who has contributed.
