Hello and welcome back, Stewart! It's been great keeping up with the Garagiste Festival's progress (on the official website and via Facebook). It's inspiring to read about what you're doing and to watch things grow from just a little seedling of an idea to something that so many people have come to enjoy and are looking forward to again this year. I'm so very happy that you are doing well and that you are doing something that you feel so connected to.

And thank you for your words of encouragement to not listen to the people who truly don't support you or who only see part of who you are. I recently went through a very, very tough time with rejection. As the typical Type-A overachiever, it was a very painful learning experience and it was very difficult for me not to be exceedingly bitter towards The Powers That Be and those who were placed where *I felt* I was supposed to be. There were many lessons, at times grudgingly, learned throughout the whole ordeal. But in the end, I understood that it all happened for a reason and that perhaps my true passion lies in a different area of my life: teaching young children. So thank you very much. Your words are truly taken to heart.

I hope you'll continue to stop by here from time to time. I think I can speak for the entire board when I say that we've missed your posts. Best wishes to you!!

Wow, Stewart, glad to see you join us again!

Sounds like the new venture is going well. I haven't been able to check out the radio show but once, but I enjoyed it a lot. Hopefully when the drama dies down I'll be able to check it out again. I'm glad that's turned out to be a winning venture for you!

Glad to see everyone still here! Have a great week and keep warm! Hope those in the path of the hurricane are ok.

It's been a little bit since I've been on here...

I'll be in Paso a week from now and will be attending the festival next weekend. I am glad Stewart and the rest of the Garagiste gang seems to be successful in their endeavor. While I've enjoyed seeing him now and again on the "big screen", I'd tend to lie more on the side of supporting Stewart as a person, versus just him as a (previous) actor. He's obviously multi-faceted and/or multi-talented, so I understand and support his desire to attempt to distance himself from his acting career and emphasize his life/livelihood now lies in wine-making and all things wine. I wish I lived closer to the area so I could try out for the wine nymph job, so I could enjoy all the glasses of different wine. :)

I'm glad he stopped by to update us. If I remember, I'll try to post pictures from the festival when I return.

Jenny
