    THE 2008 THANK YOU LIST... AND MY PERSONAL INVITATION TO CELEBRATE MY BIRTHDAY.

    Welcome to my annual THANK YOU LIST...

    Capricorns, being the serious people we are, are never happy near our birthdays as we don't ever feel that we've achieved enough. Ever. For me personally, the 1st day of the year (day ONE), represents not only my birthday - but the beginning of my birth year cycle, but the end of one, and a chance to reflect.


    After a life changing trip to Cuba a couple years back, I came to understand that we tend to complain in Canada A LOT, and generally unnecessarily. 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.


    This list is a part of my dairy of the PEOPLE THAT HELPED ME GET THROUGH 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.


    This list also acts as my personal 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 to celebrate my birthday at The ONE - my most personal event - 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...


    OH... AND I HAVE ON 2 PHOTOGRAPHERS... I'll be standing in front of the backdrop to meet EVERYONE (unless you come after midnight in which case - catch me dancing in the middle of the dancefloor lol).


    With no further adieu, I PRESENT "THANK YOU FOR 2008"

    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. (and 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 - THE ONE.
