Testimonials and Comments for Ian
Looking at the guitar I remembered how it had looked when I first was given it 5 years ago by Mr. Ian. It suddenly hit me that I was in Australia, on tour, playing music, and that I wouldn't have been there if it was for this guitar and Ian's generosity.
Thanks for changing my life Ian...
each other. though tallness and
exquisite ettiquette seemed an inate
part of his blood (see brother Adam), he
was jealous of the good looks that ran
in mine.
know. He is nicer than my house.
Furthermore, he is more forlorn than
the most secluded English pop star I
know. I am glad I attended his inertia
experiment over the holiday weekend,
(ie, Twin Reverb vs. pane of glass)

simple, he never fit the equation.
When I talk about arithmetic I only
speak in terms that a few others can
comprehend but that isn't important.
And then we met, and my life changed
forever. Ian quickly rose into a
position of admiration and inspiration
to me, from unknowingly making me want
to grow a moustache, to spending all
night sharing stories about our pro-
wrestling fantasies, to showing me my
first girly mag. I've never told him
any of this but I feel that the
private, simple forum of Friendster is
the perfect moment for me to open up
my true feelings: I love Ian.
and I orbited the same undergrad and
post-collegiate social circles but have
only just reconnected and gotten to
know each other better, and that's a
beautiful thing because he's bright,
funny, animated, and incredibly
articulate even after several glasses
of whiskey; he has an inexhaustible
vocabulary (which, these days, is a
woefully underrated trait) that never
fails to impress. I really enjoy our
conversations, which are unfortunately
reduced to e-mail at the moment, and
they oscillate between amusing,
distracting, and illuminating. A
quality man.
being that has ever existed. End of
discussion.
page and i realized i have not left a
testimonial for you. what's up with
that? i'm guessing it's either because i
don't know where to begin or i wouldn't
know where to end. or maybe i sent you
one and you rejected it. but i know
that's not the case because you would
never reject anything. you're just that
kind of guy. like that time i was all,
be in my band, we have a show in two
days and you were all, ok, i guess. and
then i was all, i know you don't play
guitar on those songs but just sit there
anyway and drink lots of whiskey and you
were all, ok, if you say so. you're just
always awesome. more awesome than most
people who claim to be awesome, i bet.
and that's the other thing! you would
never claim to be awesome and that's why
you're so awesome. that and that thing
that you do with your cat. but that
other thing is maybe more the cat's
doing. but i'll tell you this and then
i'll shut up. you are at least as
awesome, if not more awesome than your
cat. and also more awesome than a lot of
other things also. ok. i hope you're
well. luv, ashod.
male, human-- Ian is inordinitately
modest, and funny. All family ties
aside, I like Ian, and the name Ian,
Ian, Ian, Ian!
I wish this keyboard housed only the
letters: I A N , with an occasional
apostrophe, and an S.
we share the same exact birthday.
We've known each other for a good while
now and we never even knew. I thought
that was pretty fucking crazy. He's to
knowing that I share my birthday with a
really cool and seriously nice person.
Did you know that Steffi Graf and Boy
George share it with us too?
another bay triangle person - folks in
the south bay, band in the east bay,
housing in the west - i am sure he's
been to marin too. anyhow there's a
story in here about how ian got
recruited into Xmedio-coreX and braved
an icestorm, but let's just say he is
easily embarassed, but for no reason.
he doesn't know it yet, but he's going
to be my lt. governor running mate
