Last year on this one trip to the store I bought too many groceries: there was no room in my freezer or fridge for my spendthrifty purchases, and so Andy gave an extraneous package of bacon a much-needed home. When I went to retrieve my Andy-saved bacon, I was relieved and astonished to find out that not only had Andy saved my bacon, he had given it a name: "Sleeces!" (including the exclamation point). I, of course, was not one to break up such a happy home as was evidenced by the companionship that Sleeces! and Andy had built, and so I followed the old adage "if you love something set it free, if someone else loves something they can fry it up and enjoy it on toast with fresh garden vegetables." Humble appreciation to Andy and to the late great Sleeces! for their brief but fulfilling enrichment of my life. Honest! Andy Bates saved my bacon!

Andy Bates has become a 'famous' name this week because he encapulates what is great about being a JoCo fan. He got his ticket from posting on the forums before hand, and getting one someone no longer needed, met up with numerous other forum people going alone, they had a great time together, and then JoCo makes his night be inviting him on stage to assist. I understand he was good, but I have to wait to see it when the DVD comes out. Us people that read the forums know about him too you know!
