Hello, Hello, Hello!

Well, I hope everone had a happy, healthy and peaceful Thanksgiving Day...lovely seeing all the old faces and meeting some new ones too. Anyway, it's been well worth it, staying in the country long enough to take part in the Turkey Festivities in Philly. I only nwish Simon could have been here too. He'd have loved the beer and food... maybe he'll get here with me some year.

Love,
Amanda 

I grow older and wiser with the years and it doesn't change a thing here because Chuck still remembers me talking to my Mom hungover after my first night of drinking ever and I'm sure Micah remembers whin I was 12. Who says you can't go home again?

Dear Book,

Socialists suck ass. But anyway, this TurkeyFest was supposed to be a clip show. Well, where the hell are the clips? Where are the pics of me on the toilet or me saying that I won't get on the toilet? Oh well. There you go.

[Note: At this point in the actual journal entry, Pilling has drawn a crude picture of himself going to the bathroom, with appropriate labels] 

Hey Everybody,

Glad i got to see everyone this year: wish i coul've seen everyone who couldn't be here. Keep well.

Peace,

Micah,

Ahh... yet another TurkeyFest--I don't even remember how many I've been to. Yet again I'm with another boy. I guess some things never change :)

Thank you for a wonderful evening and photographing me in flattering light. I ate too much and James mad a frog-turkey. I had fun making the croissants and my gay pilgrim. I don't know what else to say--but Happy Turkeyt Day.

Heather 

I love you all very much. Sorry I couldn't be there. "You all are angels to me."

Hey Strangers!

Small talk blah blah blah.

You all look fucking fabulous!

Seriously... I want you all to come home with me!

Pity me, I'm a cripple.

Micah--If you ever need me to carry your love child, I'll do it! 

Dearest,

Steven seems well, his girlfriend is so sweet. She compliments profusely? I fear I am falling for her. This proposition hampers my plans.

All is well.

Thanks for the legs & the laughs.

Interesting year. Trying to think of what to say this time around. Smaller and quiter this year. The food was so much better than the families'. Spilled marinara on my pants :(

Thankful for my life and my friends and family. Most thankful for my new and amazing wife!!

See ya next year

Yet another year has transpired since TurkeyFest. Unexpected it was to receive a call from M. Breed. Good luck in the future. Might I have my V-Cell next year?

-E. Coyne 

I only see some of you guys once a year (if that) usually on TurkeyFest. Those of you who've moved on to parts exotic and/or distant, it's such a treasure to see you all when I get the chance.

All right, I can only get sentimental for so long before the littel deamon that resides in my head starts to jump up and down and yell and cuss at me.

Happy to see you all again.

Gotta go, the demon wants me to smoke a cigarette and drink another beer.

Wow! My third TurkeyFest. It's always an interesting and fun time. Thanks for inviting me.

Sometimes, in the late fall, the leaves piled along the sides of the road give off the perfect smell of the chnging weather. In the early mornings, the clinging frost melts and the air is full of the crisp scent of hesitant snow. Walking through the leaves in the sunset hours always smells like half-baked pumpkin pie, like comfort and blankts kept in cedar chests... It's the scent of November.

<---------------------Ouch! These ligts are hot.

Hello person who is Reading this. I hope you are well. This was a wonderful TurkeyFEst, and a good year. It's always wonderful to see people I only get to see once a year. I always regret not keeping in touch with all the great people I meet here. This is a great idea for friends who live so far away. I wish I could do this with all the fun peole I meet. If you had a great year, I hope the next year is as good. And if it wan't a great year, may next year be the best year you've ever had.

I love you all

As the third party legal confirmer, I conclude that the Shump Clan is prompt on the money.

I'm jealous of the TurkeyFest. I can Never give enough thanks. Origami turkey makes me feel good.
