6th Sense

Hard to believe it was today that OMG got ready got set and went forth or sixth as the case may be.

 "Jake seriously, I don't think that's what they had in mind 

when they said beard."
Overheard in Chilmark 

I was told when we started that OMG wouldn't last a year and now 6 years and 2188 posts ( with 314 Out Spotlights) later we are still here and still talking about our favorite pair. Who knew?

And during that time we've kept talking about two fellas who found each other and the rest is history.

We have talked, discussed, sometimes argued, theorized, discovered, uncovered, and shared.  Yeah, sometimes we get lost in the flotsam and jetsam of the shenanigans but then you remember the reason that this all began.

People have come and gone,  some came back,  new people joined in, and some have hung in all this time. A big thanks to everyone who has come and come back and hung in there.

  And along the way a community was formed. 

Over the years, there have been new jobs, new homes, layoffs, loves and losses, hellos and good-byes. And there have been new friendships, and trips, and get-togethers, and emails, and text message, online chats, and phone calls that close the gap of the thousands of miles we are spread over.  And yeah, there have been challenges, crisis, and sometimes failure but more often success and friends who are there to help and to share. 

Those are the important things.  Those are the things to remember.

But no worries one day Godot will come,  and we will still have plenty to talk about.

Just like the day OMG started, we're here and we're staying. 

Thanks to everyone for making OMG's 6th Birthday happen. Couldn't have done it without all of you.

Happy Birthday OMG!

Thank you ... thank you very much

Jimmy Fallon has brought back the glory of the Thank You note. And with such gracious guys as Jake and Austin, no doubt they sent out a few Fallonized ones over the past few weeks.

Dear FashionWeek,
Thank you for keeping people busy with something to do the whole time I was directing and creating a place where they are encouraged to look like a Solid Gold Dancer.

Austin

Dear Barstow Subway
Thank you for helping us get ready for Vegas' cheap eats and craps tables, with your $5 foot longs and a cool parking lot to stand and eat them and people to take pictures.

Jake

Dear Cafe Gratitude
Thank you for sticking to believing that coconut can be a bacon substitute even when we all know that's stinking thinking. And thank you for letting me have the chance to hear "You are Fabulous" without Michael K snickering.

Jake

Dear White Rubba' Boots
Thank you for coming in my size, for your kicky style, and for being my fall go to fashion footwear.

Thanks for being a show off of what lingered longer than "the three after the ring" circus.

Jake

and

Dear Bronzer
Thank you for your sunkissed glow that reminds us of QT, Sun In and Grandma's knee hi nylons. It makes us look like we didn't spend the whole weekend indoors.
