The first two wreaths I have ever made. I think Troy would have loved them. Definitely worth the effort. If you're reading this, we have 2 seats left for the "Invite only" dinner. Comment if you want one.

I'm wondering If we're gonna need more security the public memorial. 110 going ir i terested and rising.

About to go shopping for Troy's memorial activities.

The 2nd quarter of Dungeons and Dragons. We watched the first quarter the night before. With any luck we'll finish it this weekend

I was just reading conversation with Troy and he used the term "beforetimes". I don't often hear that.

This thread is a very beautiful thing.

Will someone please put the details here into a post in events so everyone can see it? Some people have me blocked so they won't see it if I post it myself. https://facebook.com/events/s/pop-up-goth-club-troy-spiral-m/1664211470693602/

Why does it hurt so much when someone you love is hurting but when they stop hurting, somehow it is worse?

I changed the cover to $5. Just make sure you all invite a friend!!!

This is the last interaction that I had with Troy. In his attempts to gather people together, it was not about the gathering itself, or a narcissistic need for attention. It was about people and opportunities to interact. He remembered something I had said years ago and realized what it truly meant. Unfortunately, he never saw my reply. But he got it. And I am sharing it with you, hoping that everyone who reads this takes the opportunity to get past the superficial "I was there". Really get in there, take the time to be there FOR and WITH one another, not just to occupy the same general space and call it good enough.

@Scary Guy and @TronRP Consider this whole thread to be a discussion thread. Not the official announcement. We have to have a cover as there is a charge to use the venue. Unless someone wants to pony up the cash for the room. The place is perfect for our needs, has a brand new sound board, black table coverings, red candles, stage for the DJs and will have a full cash bar with a dedicated bartender. Don't expect it to vibe like an existing club but instead, great music, good people, less drama, and a focus on memorializing Troy. Any door funds left after actual expenses for the night will absolutely go to Troy's mother. I'll be happy to show receipts when/if asked.

Tron, PMing you now.

Tell us more... please.

Please read my inbox message.

This is a very thoughtful post. A perfect way to approach the subject. I particularly love the quote about shared pain. ❤️

In memory of my friend.

"There are no words big enough to describe grief. It’s an incredibly lonely, empty place, a large hole that swallows your soul and threatens to destroy it. It’s a dark place with no light that blinds you, deafens you, and crushes your spirit. It’s a place full of memories you’re afraid to lose. I was in that place. No amount of tears washed away the loneliness. No amount of screams chased it away. There were simply memories, an avalanche of memories that I desperately needed to hold onto. There was so much that death didn’t prepare me for. It didn’t prepare me for the storm that would break my will." ~Hawthorn

Asking myself.

What in the world am I doing here?

David and I expect to be there.

Ummm....ummmm...Trene ? This is rather unexpected and slightly disturbing.

Good idea about the envelope. We wil be there. Any unclaimed cards would be appreciated but not expected.

That is just not even ok.

Count me in
