Topic: A Bonamassive Thank You!

As the year winds down and I get my first tour under my belt, I wanted to thank everyone on the street team that helped promote the shows and Joe's music this Fall. It was a huge learning process and a bit overwhelming at times, especially given that I came in with a smaller time frame than we normally like to work with, but we made it through. I learned a great deal and can say with confidence that the Spring US tour will be much smoother from my end.

Having met Joe and experienced his live show, I can honestly say that I get it. I get your passion. I get WHY you guys and gals go out of your way to hand out those promo cards and turn your friends, family and even complete strangers on to the Bonamonster. I want to make that as easy as possible for you.

I have some big changes coming to the street team, including an official t-shirt and a new website and my goal is to have those ready to go by the end of January, so stay tuned. Your support means everything to Joe and me and we can't thank you enough for all that you do. I encourage your thoughts, feedback and constructive criticism and if you don't feel like sharing them here, you can always reach me via email at andrew@jr-adventures.com.

I'm looking forward to an even bigger 2013.

Yours,

General Andy

It sounds like some nice things are in store for the future.  Thanks for everything you do for for Joe and all of us.  You have made a very positive impact in the short time you have been here.  I very much look forward to what may come and for more chances to share Joe and his music to all who will listen.

Cheers on a great 2012 and beyond!

Glad you found us.  Looking forward to 2013.  As others have said you have done a great job in such a short time.  The communication is appreciated especially considering how much was put on your plate.

Re: A Bonamassive Thank You!

Andy, you are the best.  Just what we needed.  So professional, responsive and proactive.  Cannot imagine your workload and how you have been able to hold it all together.  Bet next year you'll be able to handle everything with your eyes closed!  J&R is truly lucky to have you on the crew.  And I'm sure Joe is proud of you.  Thank you for your conscientiousness, commitment and always going above and beyond!

Re: A Bonamassive Thank You!

Thanks Andy,
I look forward to 2013 and doing anything I can to help continue to promote Joe. Thanks for the opportunity to give out promo cards this past fall for Joe's Tulsa show! Looking forward to the same next time he is playing in Oklahoma.
Happy New Year Andy!
