I've been instructed by the powers that be that I should no longer post on tribe but simply read others posts and educate myself.
With regards to the last post so that things don't get misconstrued, I love the DAD's very much (yes,even the little one :), Hi Destiny) and cannot tell you how many awesome and incredibly humbling times I have spent in their presence and at the beloved Jellyphish.

They opened the Jellyphish and their hearts to not only me & my friends which became theirs but also to my family in times of strife and for this they will always have a place in my heart.

After spending an evening gazing at meteors in their new castle in the hills and laughing at various moving sattelites & cloud formations, I know that I absolutely do enjoy their company in any state I am in(literally), will miss them at the local functions, miss the bright colors and funky patterns they bring to the party, and will miss the influx of new music they bring (Trippyland?). Although we are only 16-24 hrs drive away(depending on who you ride with & route taken) or a 3 hour flight, it may seem like a lifetime but they will be back and we will be there from time to time as well.

I do feel however that a community is made of so much more than 2 people and although that's where your individual community may have been centered around, there is a whole nother side of our community that didn't attend many functions at the Jellyphish but still make up a very viable part of our "community" that we have here in Houston.
I'm sure we will continue to build a strong base in Houston no matter which one of our petals drift away into the wind as the new growth will only offer further diversity and chance for renewal. We have an awesome tribe of people in our presence and the hole in your time and space can only be filled by forming new bonds and seeking out new people with the qualities that you wish for in a Phriend.

We will only get stronger as we grow!

I know that the DAD's will compliment the fine community that is very much already in place in the mountains (as I have met many of them and love them) and will always be considered a part of our Phamily here in H-town as well.

Hope this explains my stance and do know that I love you all (except where noted and Jon Deblanc :P of course) and I don't know why I feel compelled to explain myself for being so misunderstood!

p.s.- Kurt's a dick!
