CALLING OUT NAMES: The 2008 THANK YOU LIST:Part 1

CALLING OUT NAMES: The 2008 THANK YOU LIST:Part 1


What's up,

As the story goes (for those who are new to the the email list or just don't read my stories), every year at the end of the year, I get highly contemplative. If you happen to know a New Years baby (and I now happen to know 6) or ANY capricorn for that matter, we are very serious, highly reflective people (who are generally miserable and unhappy with our achievements over the course of year, that we'd actually prefer to not celebrate our birthday at all).

In my case, as I'm born on the 1st of January, the end and beginning of the year also represents my next coming of age. A few years back, after going to Cuba and seeing abject poverty, I started to reflect on how ungrateful we all often are, for the things that we have, the people around us and for another day...

With that said, one of my traditions for the last couple of years is the incredibly ridiculous task of thanking everyone that made my year what it was... Often, people send me an email that says something like "you really made my day with your email" or "I loved that party last night and I hope you know we appreciate the hard work". Those little emails - the little "I feel silly saying this and I'm sure you hear it all the time - but I LOVE YOUR EMAILS" - all of those little things, the love that you show when you support not only my efforts but REAL music and real events, I appreciate to the bottom of my heart - and they keep me going.


At the end of the year, I look back on each and every email - every picture taken, my phone text messages and phonebook, and I try my best to thank each and everyone that I know by name... for taking the time to do something that enhanced my life. This email has become a pre-new years tradition where I CALL OUT NAMES... It's in no particular order - although I do go back and sort alphabetically to make sure there aren't duplicates... Often it's one name into the next as I remember someone, I remember her friend, I remember the guy that introduced us, something funny or there may be a group of the same name lumped together as I remember Jon, John, and Jonathon...

Each year, as I sit to write this passage, I reflect on the year gone by - the successes and failures, the joys, the pains, the good and bad. I think of those who have not been as fortunate to make it, and I take time to greater appreciate the gifts of friendship, as well as the little things that have made this life bearable - especially in a year as difficult as 2008.

Where the first day of the year - my birthday - used to be a marker of my relative success, it is now a marker of the LESSONS learnt over the year, new friendships kindled and old re-connected, the laughter, the achievements - as big or small as they may have been.

The ONE, is my most cherished event - my most personal, as it represents ONE degree of separation and an opportunity for me to THANK YOU - the friends and acquaintances, who without knowing, have become a part of my personal story - teaching me, and inspiring me to continue striving to achieve. The THANK YOU EMAIL acts as a PRE-AMBLE TO THE EVENT... for those who can't make it.

I strongly believe in starting the year as I’d like it to continue - surrounded by friends. My birthday party is the rare occasion that I get to see all my friends, old and new. THE ONE brings together everyone from all of my events - Amnesia to Soul Kitchen, Big People Fete to GroovEssentials, ICON to re:connect and all points between.

This year, I refuse to work at the party. I plan to enjoy every moment. More preparation work than ever has been done to ensure that it runs itself - or someone is there to run it - apart from me lol.. I plan to share the night with you, my friends...


This is my formal invitation to you - if I’ve touched you directly or indirectly - through my words, actions or events - or if I’ve been blessed by your support, words or love.

If I missed you, please know that I appreciate the effort that it takes to even smile and be friendly in this cold cold world - many weren't lucky enough to be here with us and so I say

THANK YOU FOR 2008... Part 1 of 2 - this is just the beginning - and if you're still missed after it's all said and done, please realize I'm doing this freestyle from memory and it was that memory - not my heart that forgot (I've always wanted to say that lol).

I appreciate everything that you've done to enhance my life, whether it was a kind word, a smile, an email, some advice, something you taught me, by supporting or attending one of my events, by telling someone about me, or by simply reading or listening to me on the radio.

Gratefully, I remain,



Yours...

Ian Andre Espinet.
