for Dan and Anne...

I'm choking up here some, good work man. This is the sort of tribute Anne and Dan, and the many who worked to make the magazine what it became, deserve.

Alan--

Thank you for putting that together. You've managed to capture the thing that I'm finding the most overwhelming right now: the sheer volume of response. It's very easy, locked in our offices constantly working on the next thing, to forget the impact we've had on folks. Now, hours after our announcement, it's staggering to me just how far-reaching the response is.

Thanks to all those who have written here, e-mailed us, blogged about this, and everything else. Your words mean more than I can possibly express.

Dan

Alan,

I can't believe you made me bawl my eyes out over a YouTube video.

Thanks to everyone who participated in it.

That was awesome, Dan,Anne, and everyone at Punk Planet really deserve that. Thanks.

Thank you so much for that, Alan.
and to Dan and Anne: I have only been reading Punk Planet for a little over two years, but I sometimes felt like it was some of the only sanity I had access to here in small town Minnesota. Thanks you for all that you do.

~All I ever wanted was to be your spine~

If you had paid for that fucking issue instead of shoving it down your pants, maybe they wouldn't have gone under! I blame you and your petty crimes!!!

Heh heh, you had Bikini Kill down your pants. Heh heh heh.

By the way, I think it great that you added Fractal, the suicide girl, to the list of people in the movie. Awesome!

~All I ever wanted was to be your spine~

Thanks. I thought it was funny. As Paul Davis said in an email to me, "she's always been down for the cause." (paraphrasing, I don't have the email here in front of me...)

I had to watch it again, because I missed our girl Fractal down there in the corner, and it just made me cry again. Even though, this time, I was also laughing a little bit.
