This will sound like I'm butt-kissing and probably does, but I don't have a favorite piece you've written as I been able to love and enjoy all of them. Having been a fan of your music & art since waaaaaaaaay back when, reading all you share of yourself in your life and (mis)adventures and growing up, has now made me fan of you Carré, the person & human. Your weekly willingness to expose your vulnerability & heart & mind, makes your music & art even more meaningful. Thank you for always sharing and here's to looking forward to what 2025 will bring for all of us.

Thank you, Juan! I remember you being there from waaaay back when and I've always appreciated your presence and support. Means a lot that you've stuck around and continue to take interest in my shenanigans. XX

It's been a pleasure following your 2024 Carré, chitchatting about the various topics, seeing what others share through the talks, and I wish you a happy new year, and the very best for 2025.

Or as we put it in my hometown: Thank you for the old (Takk for det gamle (in Norwegian))

I’ve loved your articles, Carre, thank you so much. Our Queen Kwong album arrived last week (stupid Canadian mail strike), and we loved the autograph, thank you!💕 Excellent album, so glad to have found you. Rock on!🤘

Yes! I love book nooks and all those mini kits with five million pieces and never enough glue. For the one I managed to finish (a mini bookstore-ish thing), I followed about 70% of the instructions and it has a ton of visible flaws but it’s amazing how wonderfully distracting the whole process was. Massive kudos to you for attempting the electrical wires! More book nooks for 2025 🙏🏼

I'm so happy to hear that you also enjoy book nooks! I didn't realize there are multiple companies who make them. You must let me know your favorite kit. I wish I could get a job being a pro book nook assembler haha.

I’m so chuffed you are in a good place Carré and you have loads to look forward too.

Personally I look forward to reading your posts on a Tuesday and it’s good to hear you still enjoy and get something back from writing them.

My favourite is The rock star is dead. I saw it as an antidote and kick back to all of your stories of misogynistic, arrogant men. I know the backlash wasn’t pretty but you handled that with ease.

The Booknook is really cool.. did it come with cats or did you freestyle there.😁

Happy new year and hopefully see you next year. X

It actually came with cats. That was the main selling point haha. But I love the idea of customizing it. Would be cool to have a Queen Kwong themed one...lol

Happy New Year, Steve! XX
