You were great tonight. Thanks for coming to Athens. I saw you in Cleveland last year with Page France and whenever I get a chance to talk to you, all I end up saying is thank you.. So I don't know what I could've come up with, but, uh.. thank you. I'm really glad you came.

hi there,
just to say that it would have been so much better if you had booked a venue in berlin that could take more than 30 people. extremely disappointed to not have seen you last night!! along with about 100 other people.
