Without a doubt @thehorrorchick has been one of the nicest people I have ever met. Right away she made me feel like someone who mattered & is unflinchingly kind. When I was in a cruddy situation, she helped me be able to say on my feet writing. I overjoyed to call her movie buddy
I could spend at least an hour on why @dedecrim is truly one of my favorite people, ever. An absolute rockstar of a writer and even better person. You know someone has effected you deeply, when people start arguing about zombies & your reaction is "oh shit, where's Dede?!"
Ever since @brockwilbur & @viv_kane arrived in KC, they've been good friends, as well as endless sources of encouragement, advice & all around good cheer, regardless of the day or whatever was going on. During these crazy times, they've been 2 of the people I've missed the most.
Even if he's someone who will force me to drink Malort at least once ever time I see him, @MikeVanderbilt is really a wonderful soul. A bit prickly, but that merely adds a bit of spice, in a person whose opinion I appreciate and respect highly. Plus, also has one stylish house!
Getting elected to be VP to @abbyolcese's Pres of the KCFCC, as I can't think of a better representative of film critics in KC. Bold, opinionated, always looking at the bigger picture and an absolute force, Abby has been a source of inspiration & good conversations, for years.
I could easily complain, no matter where I go, someone knows @JillSixx, but that's exactly as it should be, as she's badass. Even if at 1st I was worried she was judging me. Now I don't care, b/c she's one of the fiercest people I know & I cannot wait for her film to be seen!
It's silly looking back at how much things change over a short period of time, but I'm glad to have a friend like @scottdaly85, who has been there for a lot of it, as confidant & good soul. I'm constantly in awe of the great podcast content he's churning out. Mostly I'm jealous
You couldn't ask for better friends or cheerleaders than @NightmareJunk (Greg) & @El_Jenius. We all clicked early on & they were super welcoming to my pushing myself to become a part of the KC Film scene.
The best thing people can do, is make you laugh, even when you disagree!

Save for my wife's encouragement, friendship & encouragement of @NightmareJunk / @El_Jenius, @Mount_Baldy's the unsung hero in whatever small sliver of success or respect I've gotten online. His initial nudge to look into a local KC outlet (& good word) was instrumental. Thank you
There's many other people I've been lucky to meet/have in my life, that would take too long to write about so just follow them ( @VyceVictus @johnnydonaldson @RockieWarAntz @BradFHenderson @scrawfish @RifewithKatie @PaulisGreat2000 @ScottWamplerBMD @neuroticmonkey @JonathanBarkan)
Fuck it, adding more great #FF peeps (spreading good):
