Dear Staches,
It has been fun, and the good times will be missed.

Yesterday, I was hanging out at McCreary's Irish Pub in Franklin, TN, and some guy came in and asked if he could share my table since the place was packed. Our eyes met, and we knew we were friends. It was jonnyblueoval from Whiskerino! What makes this even more great, is that he lives in Alabama now.

That's what is so amazing about this facial hair community. No matter where you go or what you do, if you invested yourself in this community, you now have an extended family.

Jonny is a particularly excellent example of how this all works. If you look at his archive, there is a marked change about 1/2 way through. There is nothing wrong with his early photos, but about 1/2 way, the magic that is *us together* seemed to click for him, inspiring him...and he came alive! I am honored to count him as a friend, and hoisting a pint with him for my last photo - well, I can't think of a better way to say goodbye.

I hope to see you all soon. Don't be strangers.

Cheers,
Just Jamey

jnonfiction says:: That's right. I'd wanted to articulate that exact thing: "you now have an extended family."

Thanks for putting words on that. And for all the rest too.

wondermade says:: I was hanging out with my brother yesterday who lives in Puna and we were talking about a restaurant. I said "It was the one my friend from Hawai'i recommended in Pahoa" and he remembered.

The story in your caption is one from a similar vein, and I love it. Be well and keep enjoying the benefits of the mainland.

ThatGuy says:: Thanks man. You've been a constant positive vibe since I met you during w'rino. It's been a pleasure following your images and the even more difficult time of following your location from one day to the next. You don't have to worry about me getting too far away. In fact, we are almost destined to hang out now that you're in philly. My GF is from Pitman NJ (30 min from philly) and we head up that way fairly often. (might even be there this weekend). Either way, Beer will be had eventually. I'll see you on the book of faces.

CurlyMcGee says:: Pennsylvania?! Never thought I would be living there, and maybe you've had similar thoughts in your life. I intend to make the best of it and that includes more time with you! You're one of my favorite people to follow online, so I feel like IRL beers and more conversations will only improve things. God Bless you, Jamey!
