Hello folks. This is just a quick note to say that I’m unplugging. It’s time for me to spend a few days away from computers and emails and such. I probably won’t be able to stay away completely, but I definitely won’t be as connected as I usually am.

I want to thank all you loyal readers for creating an exciting community of readers, commenters and contributers here at Ashvegas. Your presence, your ideas, your readership make this thing go. I can’t thank you enough.

2010 was a sometimes difficult, often amazing, year of growth and change for me. I’m glad for it, and glad it’s gone.

I owe a giant, heartfelt debt of gratitude to everyone who showed me the meaning of true friendship, love and kindness this past year. To those of you who showed otherwise, I’ve learned from that, too.

Now it’s time to move forward. Enjoy yourselves, and catch me up upon my return Jan. 10.

Perhaps you should take a permanent vacation and end this crappy blog. I've read better material in Timbuk Tu in a men's retroom. Narcissitic dipshit hipster tripe is what this blog is.

Hey Jason,

Do not read this message until 1/11/11. Ooh, that's a good day to come back to us!

I'm headed to Costa Rica for two weeks at the end of the month- can't wait to disconnect from technology for that long. Here's wishing you a healthy, happy time while you're away and the best year yet!

Take care,

Jonathan Frappier
