This week marks the beginning of the third year of Boomerocity’s existence. What a wild and wonderful run it has been so far.  As I’ve said in previous thank you’s, when I started this publication, I really didn’t think that I would have more than three or four celebrity interviews in the first year. In fact, I wondered if the site would even go beyond one year.

Well, it has and it has been a very successful two years, having had the privilege of completing over 50 interviews to date.  In many cases, those interviews would not have happened without the help and graciousness of managers, agents, assistants, PR gurus and promoters.  So, in addition to the great people who granted me the honor of interviewing them, I also want to thank their team who made it happen.  Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

I also want to thank the publishing companies and their promotional teams who have been so kind to send me books for review.  While not all of the books received haven’t been formally reviewed on Boomerocity, they have been talked about and recommended via e-mail communications and through the various social networks.  While my night stand groans under the weight of the tomes, I appreciate the great reads more than you’ll ever know.

I also want to thank the folks who have made it possible to catch some great shows to review for my site.  You all have spoiled me rotten with great entertainment and I hope that I have conveyed the great time in the reviews and articles that I’ve written in telling what great shows and festivals they were.

I know that the folks in the above three categories don’t typically suffer fools but, yet, they worked with me.  For that I’m humbled beyond words.  These great people are:

Thanks, kids, for making Boomerocity what it is!

Very sincerely,

Randy Patterson
