Because Ms. Yvon is the best..can I get a holla?

[the_wizzard]

Today at work I get a lovely letter from Ms. Yvon with 3 (!!!) Rampant Badassery stickers and an Okonokos sticker to boot!  My favorite part is that I got a handwritten letter!  Ms. Yvon, it has been ages since I have received a handwritten letter (well, I've gotten a few thank you cards, but a letter...not in many years).  In honor of this awesome soul, I give you just some of the reasons why Ms. Yvon rocks:

1. She gets to shows, no matter what.  Truly dedicated!
2. She has only love to spill on this forum, she is a ray of sunshine
3. She knows the power and glory of Stumptown coffee  ;)
4. She gives the lighting guy props after the show for the amazing job on "Highly Suspicious"
5. After any show she attends, she gives us the BEST reviews.
6. Her review of the 2007 Crystal Ballroom show is the reason for me being on here (lovely shout-out for the Ba-Ba-Bananas-nanas shirt...can't wait to see what inspiration I get from this next NYE show).
7. She rocks my Bananas shirt at many occasions  ;)
8. We all know...she is the best!

Thanks for being you, Ms. Yvon! [smiley=tekst-toppie.gif]

Her reviews are the bomb.

2. She has only love to spill on this forum world, she is a ray of sunshine

I had to make a small correction.  I think her love spreads far beyond this forum.

Best. Reviews. Evah.
And she likes asparagus!

[ChiefOKONO]

Yes she does rule indeed !!  she was the only one who really hung out at the okonokos listening party too!

[purvis9876]

Agree with the above statements.  :)

[TEO]

She's not scared to say FUCK either... ;)

[weeniebeenie]

Go Ms. Yvon! :)

[dragonboy]

My first beer this evening will be drank in her honor!  [smiley=thumbsup.gif]  [smiley=beer.gif]

[TheBigChicken]

It really DID snow didn't it ? ;) ;) ;) ;) ;) ;)

[vespachick]

It's all true. The asparagus; the Stumptown; the generally kind soul and relentless thoughtfulness...  [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

I declare, with the kind consent of Crispy specifically, and forum members generally, and subject to a majority vote, nominate Ms. Y Mayor of MMJ Town!! ;)

[Penny Lane]

all this is true!! she is an awesome, giving person...she PM'd me when i was looking for a ticket for louisville show and offered for her and her friends to pick me up at the nashville airport! (having only met me once ;-)  :)

[Crispy]

Hey VC - where did you get the power to just appoint government officials willy-nilly? I would second your motion however, to nominate Ms. Y...

[vespachick]

I was waiting for that... ::)

[ms. yvon]

i am so moved by all your kind words!  THANK YOU!
holy smokes.
it's you super cool, appreciative, creative peeps who make this a great place to hang out.

damn.  i just want to go out with you all right now for a beer or vegetable juice of your choice.

i notice that the girl i kicked in the chin at the last show hasn't posted.  or the dancer with the broken glow sticks from portland.  can't win 'em all!

for the record:  i am not above wearing a sash.   ;D

and liz:  your t-shirts have strangers approaching one another from coast to coast with, "were you at that show?!"   [smiley=beer.gif]

[Ghosts_on_TV]

she is indeed pretty awesome. Hope to see you again soon! Nye?

[mjkoehler]

I think she's the bee's knees.

[ms. yvon]

also:  it is a huge RELIEF that so many of you mentioned the show reviews as i'm a bit self-conscious about what a long-winded bastard i can be.   ;D

dave:  NYE INDEED!  *toot!*

and:  over the years i've been the recipient of much generosity, good fortune, and luck in re:  show-going (including ride and lodging offers from people here!).  i just try to keep the mojo going.

someday, when we are all drinking post show pints and dipping celery sticks into blue cheese dip, i will regale you with the time i got stranded in a town with nowhere to go, or the time i had to sleep in my car b/c there were no rooms in town.  or the meth-hotel... oh yes.  the stories are quality.   [smiley=beer.gif] ;D :P
