Looking back at the year of hobbying in Phoenix I am have both positive and negative thoughts. On the positive side I believe we hobbiest in Phoenix have a provider talent pool that rivals any city in the US. There are still some specail talents and fetishes we have a shortage of as compared to other cities especially those in Europe but my hope is that will improve in 2006.

On the negative side we have had at least one of our cherished providers attacked and there could be more we don't know about. Others have been injured in car accidents etc... I wish there was a perfect hobbying system that would permit total safety for everyone in the hobby but with the the idiotic and sometimes caotic world we live it makes it unlikelly.

Happy New Year Everyone.

Be safe in 2006.

May all hobbiest's get what we pay for (we all work hard).
