to all that attended last nights JELLY memorial event on Pensacola Beach, FL. It was a great success and many thankz to all that donated their time, resources, efforts, etc. in making this happen. Especially to Steve Graham for taking the time to come up and play under the additional strain of his health and medical condition and to those that drove many long distances and hours to share a few hours with many of Steve's fans, friends, collegues and spiritual musical brothers in arms.

I'm sure Meg's and E will have pictures to upload soon after a couple days of recovery.

Thanks again and I'm sure Jibs was definitely looking down upon us.

PS - I believe Hafid recorded his and Steve Graham's set and will be uploading and posting soon.

Re: A Big Thank You...

Glad to hear it was a big success!!

I can't wait to see the pictures and hear all about it! I am sure Steve was looking down from heaven and watching all night with a big goofy smile on his face and bopping to the beats :)

I dont mean to be nosy but is Steve grahm ok???

Re: A Big Thank You...

Steve Graham is doing great and healing well. He had a recent short stint in the hospital but all is well. Just as Steve James was, he also has become one of Pensacola's FSM adopted brothers of the progressive sound. Jib can never be replaced but there could be no better person to continue the "sharing of the beats" none other than Steve Graham. He has been a super trooper since the MS meet.

FYI - we are tentatively scheduling something for Jib's 2009 birthday on the weekend of May 29th-31st, so pencil that in your calendars for those who would like to come visit.

I hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving...and God speed to ALL.

Re: A Big Thank You...

Kick ass!

Re: A Big Thank You...

I really enjoyed that! Much thanks to the FSM hospitality!!! Thanks to everyone for opening your doors and arms to steve graham and I. Steve it was great hanging out with you again and I look forward to the next one.

Re: A Big Thank You...

I want to apologize to everyone for not being able to make the trip with Jamey. It's something we'd planned on doing together, but my fiance's grandmother passed away earlier this week and I had to drive her to Virginia for the weekend. I thought about y'all and Steve last night and would have loved to be there with you as Steve's life was celebrated. Hope to see you all again soon. I know Jamey was glad to be there, you guys are all fantastic.

Re: A Big Thank You...

From Steve's mother who made an unexpected surprise visit to Pensacola Beach after a 10-hour drive from Port Charlotte, Florida -

"The night at the Islander was very special to me. It was awesome to be there with you all. Steven truly had some very good friends. We were very happy that you were there to show our respect for my son, his music and friends. That's why we were there. THANK YOU SO MUCH."

Re: A Big Thank You...

^Wow, very cool.

Re: A Big Thank You...

Any video's or.........."pics or STFU??" 8)

It unfortunate that this praise couldn't of come before Steve's death. Im glad she's come around though.

Re: A Big Thank You...

I wish I were not in Broken Bow at the time.:(

Re: A Big Thank You...

yea, there were quite a few pics taken by emilie and i noticed another girl getting most of steve graham's set on video. hafid and megan also recorded the night so just give it time and it'll get sorted out!

Re: A Big Thank You...

[I]I would like to second the post by Oliver. We were so pleased by the turn out Friday Night. I would like to thank all the DJ's who played their hearts out. Especially like to thank Steve Graham and Jamey for making the trip. I know Jib was looking down with a huge smile on his face, possibly even whispering something(in an accent of course).

We all still can't believe he is gone. We miss him so much!!! The one up side of this is how strong our FSM family is here in P'cola. I personally could not have gotten through this without them. To my FSM family words cannot even begin to describe the appreciation and love I feel for you.

To our MS crew please know you are welcome here anytime.

Thank you again and mucho luv always

Re: A Big Thank You...

I forwarded the Mp3 audio snippet and a brief bio on who John Digweed is to his mother and family (relatives from NY and Florida). Same quote I got back from both his cousins and mother...."TOTALLY AWESOME!"

Re: A Big Thank You...

I've had a few days to reflect on last weekend and I really cant thank you guys enough for involving me in the event at Jelly.. it meant so much to me to be a part of the celebration of Steve's life. it was a beautiful night, and the turn out was un believable, and truly showed what Steve meant to the music and vice versa.

I must admit when I noticed his mum was present I didn't know what to expect. But i couldnt be more happy that she showed up :) She was very sweet, and just kept hugging me, we had some nice words and though it maybe late, I know she really now understands the connection we all share. She was very gracious and spoke from the heart.. it showed ALOT for her to make that trip from port charlotte to p'cola to participate in our memorial for Steve. I know he was looking down smiling.

Oliver, Em, Hafid, K-Rock, Megan, Eddie.. thank you for making me feel at home and as comfortable as possible on my trip up there, I wouldnt have missed it for the world :)

Chuck, I'm good, just had to have surgery for a pretty serious staph infection.. I'm ok now though ;)
