WHEREAS, you have been a Brokie extraordinaire since the beginning; and

WHEREAS, you created the first known list of Brokies in the universe; and

WHEREAS, you have spread the word of BBM throughout San Francisco and beyond, undaunted by having your cowboy hat crushed in Boston in the process; and

WHEREAS, you have travelled many miles to meet with fellow Brokies, by bicycle, by train, and even laying across three fellow Brokies' laps in the back seat of Melinda's car; and

WHEREAS, you deftly acquired the largest BBM billboard on Planet Earth; and

WHEREAS, you shared said billboard, and kept just a portion for yourself; and

WHEREAS, you made it come to pass that June 12, 2006 was proclaimed Brokeback Mountain Day in San Francisco; now therefore be it

RESOLVED, That April 7th, 2007 be proclaimed Pete Tannen Day in BetterMost, Wyoming.

Yee-Haw!!

Happy birthday, Pete! Glad to see you're wearing real boots now!! Although being only semi-ambulatory never seemed to slow you down before!!

Git on home and celebrate your birthday, and rest up for the BBQ!!

'Member when we set out to go to Laramie and ended up at Independence Rock instead? Here's a pic!

I had PM'ed Pete to be sure he didn't miss this thread, and just got this reply:

Thanks so much! I'll check thread whe I get home from 5 week vacation on East Coast - this Tues. night.

I'm in Provencetown, MA Library and have to run to meet David for lunch. Please post on my birthday thread that I will check it this Wed. and thank people for their patience!!!

thanks.

Hugs,

Pete

Here's one of those Brokie coincidences: I'm in Provincetown for the weekend, and I read Clarissa's post above. Pete's in town! Apparently no way to reach him. (He's using the library computer.)

Joey and I go to dinner at the Mews, our favorite place, and, who gets seated a few tables over?

Pete and David!

On his birthday!

Their first time in Provincetown!

It's a Brokie small world!

Thanks for the heads up, Clarissa!

Hey there, Pete! I hope you have a great birthday! It's terrific that you're travelling. That's such a cool coincidence that you'd run into Paul in P-town! A small Brokie world, indeed!

You're a shining star here at BetterMost - I support Elle's Pete Tannen Day proclamation 100%.

I love how you've devoted so much time to Brokie outreach in San Francisco. I was reading earlier today about your talk at the UU Church and at Toastmasters. I'm proud to know you, friend, and I'm looking forward to seeing you again real soon!

Hugs,
Lynne

YEEHAW!! There are no coincidences. Just what is meant to be.

Heya, bud Pete!

I was hoping to be one of the early birds on this thread, but things didn't quite work out that way. But I should still be on time for you to see this when reading through the thread upon your return home (and what a fantastic snippet of synchronicity that was in happening upon Paul in Provincetown!).

At any rate, I hope your birthday anniversary was great, and I'm looking forward to catching up with you in Estes Park in May, and in meeting your David for the first time! Likewise, you'll have the chance to meet my mother, just as you have already met my sister Cathy.

Take care, friend. See ya in May!

Oh, Paul, that's great...

And Pete... I am so sorry we didn't have the chance to connect on your trip this time. I know we emailed but life forces seemed to keep us apart. I was thinking of you, though!

No, I didn't fall off the edge of the earth!

. . . I've just been travelin a bit.

Many, many apologies for the delayed response; and many, many thanks for all the birthday wishes!

David and I were on the East Coast for 5 weeks and then when we got home I had to go through all that mail and E-mail and do my taxes (non-BBM stuff keeps on gittin in the way - never enough time . . . never enough). I've finally "Git on home and am continuing to celebrate my birthday, by enjoying this wonderful thread!!

. . . and rest up for the BBQ? I guess I'll have some rest before we leave again May 16 for our extended BBQ trip, via Albuquerque, Santa Fe, and Denver.

It is wonderful to get all these great posts and photos!!

Having Paul come over to our table in Provincetown and say howdy was one of the highlights of our trip! And then to top it off, our waitress told us that Paul was treating David and I to dessert! It was the first time in my life that someone at another restaurant table did this, so it was extra special - Thank you Paul!

Clarissa, I just loved your Proclamation!! Julie, thanks for posting that San Francisco Coit Tower mural photo I took.

Scott, that's great that you will be joining us in Estes Park!

Thanks you all again for the wonderful birthday wishes, thoughts, photos, etc.

I'll be posting about my visits with FIVE Brokies while I was back East.

Pete

I have to head out of town on April 7, so I'm going to wish our good friend Pete a happy birthday NOW and get the ball rolling!! Peter, you've left your cast far behind, but you've held on to your Jack/Ennis "boots" and that shows what a loyal Brokie you are! I'll never forget the day I met you at the baggage center of DIA, we both in our full Brokie regalia, ready to meet Annie in Casper, Wyoming!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY PETE TANNEN

I will never forget the support and encouragement that you gave me when I was climbing BBM. You
were so generous and kind to have stuck with me throughout the climb. I will never forget the sweet
heart that you had. I also loved the ride back down the mountain in the back of the truck with all of you
guys. janice

Thanks for birthday wishes, friends!!

Great photos!

I just got back Wed. night from a ten day China tour and had a great time!

I was hiking the Great Wall of China on my birthday!!

While I was in Beijing, I went to Destination, their most popular gay bar.

Go to http://www.bjdestination.com/index_en.htm

then click on explore, then click on third photo on top row.

Guess what you will see!

I did not see this poster when I went there, so I guess they've
taken it down and put up something more current.

FYI, I FINALLY just joined Facebook.
