@ScreamngMantis I'm sorry. I know it must be hard. When this happens to a friend, so much goes through our heads, yet all we feel is loss.

@TGWTG and the amazing thing is, I know my experience is not unique. @JewWario really was that kind of person to everyone. It's who he was!

@TGWTG Hugged me on the way out, & acted really happy to see me again the next day. I was a total stranger, & he made me feel like a friend!

@TGWTG ConBravo, hotel bar, last call. @JewWario struck up a conversation with me, introduced me to his group, took the elevator up with me.
I met @JewWario at ConBravo. I saw firsthand his warmth and comfort to @KittyMarie92 and his knack for making a stranger feel like a friend.

Allegory in progress: Denied entry to the Land of Invention, Sir Ryden turns to jugglers, ale, & wench-peeping, for distraction #itsoktosuck

Story in progress: A medical student, used to post-mortem movement in cadavers, finds upstart zombie patient a "mild nuisance" #itsoktosuck
Story I'm writing: "Borscht": Post-Cold War value clashes, gender politics, & emotional scars all steam from a pot of beet soup #itsoktosuck
Another ConBravo! highlight: a very inspirational panel on writing. Key advice: Take criticism, and don't be afraid to suck! Both are likely
One of the highlights of ConBravo! Geeking out with @MaraWritesStuff over popularized theater and science (namely Carl Sagan & Avenue Q)

@JewWario ConBravo! Between the panels & chatting with you @ the bar after last call, every time I saw you was an adventure. Thanks, man! :)
@thelindsayellis I'm sure they were all posted by women, resenting the boogeymanish interruption of their sexism-free lives! They know best!
@thelindsayellis "RENT: The yuppie, the stripper, the dropout, the junkie, and the whore...but DAMNIT THEY LIVE FOR TODAY, YOU FASCISTS!"
@thelindsayellis "RENT: We're more self-aggrandizing and narcissistic than the entire Woody Allen-verse, except for the saint who must die."
...But at least you had plenty of good Game Boys, plates of fried cheese steak egg rolls, and reruns of Scooby Doo. #SeePreviousTweet
There's no epiphany quite like that moment where you realize that your first 25 years have gone by...and you've done them completely wrong!
