Happy New Year !!!

I just wanted to wish everyone a Happy New Year!

I must mention that the Christmas Caroling was excellent. Two of our Jano's, Lavonne and Lan participated. I was able to hear them at Midnight Mass on Christmas Eve, and they sounded beautiful. Kudo's for sharing the joy!

I was in the the Smoking Lounge and observed one of our female Jano's defeating one of our male Jano's in a wrestling match. While I won't mention names as to not embarrass anyone...I would encourage everyone to stay on the good side of anyone they might know whom is named after a tree.

Today, at ICESTOCK, our very own Jano's Justin, Sparky and Nathan will be the opening act. Adam will be on stage later as well. Make sure to hoot and hollar for our fellow Jano brothers and sisters; after all we are representing!

Oh, I was asked if graveyard has a gang sign...well, YES we do. However, if I were to show it to any one other than a graveyard teammate, I would be in danger of gang violence. AND yes we have gang nicknames...why? BECAUSE WE ARE FRICKIN GANGSTER, day shift better just respect. Highway 1 and Crary are our hood and we will cap anybody with our 9mm if we see them leaving dishes or trash lying around. Word Up!

See if you can identify the graveyard gangster with their cute lovable gangland moniker. Momasita C or Queen B; G.B. or Gangsta B; Phattie or Fatty (no, it is not Carlton); and High-C. Don't ask me to tell you who is who, cause I would just have to cap ya. Mudda Bucka

Anywho, I just wanted to share the love and wish you all the best. Have a great time at IceStock and be SAFE! Flash me a gang sign if you dare...and NO Chelsea, the middle finger is not a gang sign!

PS: Chad, don't forget I know where you live!!! Mind your P's & Q's stud, or me and my homies are gonna pay you a gangland visit, gangster style, wearing hoodies and speaking unintelligible sentences, flashing our 9mm's and our skua bling; you get the picture!

Love you all,
Carlton
