Hello!

Hello Everybody

Yo,

I have just been given permission to start posting on here so I thought I'd say hello.

I am from merry old England, I think I might have met one of Davy's sisters a long time ago. I definitely did see him ride a horse at Fakenham racecourse when I was too young to appreciate it. I started visiting this board trying to whip myself up into a frenzy waiting for the BB&M deluxe set (and to see if maybe I could get a copy, digital that is, of that single). I started watching the Monkees in around 1980 and then bought a ten track music for pleasure cassette, I think my next purchase was the first album from a charity shop when I was at sixth form, I can remember sitting in the common room looking at the notes on the back and thinking "they do play their own instruments after all".
I once played Naked Permission at a fan convention, that was quite an achievement.

Hello everybody.

Hey hey, it's a newbie...

Hi everyone! My name is Karen and I am new around here, although I have been "snooping" for a little bit. :-)

When I was just 10 years old MTV showed reruns of The Monkees and I was immediately hooked. I had a patient mother who took me to the reunion tours in '86 and '87- totally thrilling experiences for a young developing musician. 24 years later I'm a doctoral student in music and still watching The Monkees. Back in the day I had a huge embarrassing crush on Micky Dolenz, but these days I'm what I guess y'all would refer to as a "Nezhead."

Good to "meet" everyone!

Hello
My name is Eva, I'm 32 years old, married with a child, a boy named Bart and he is 5 years old.
I live in the Netherlands and have a part-time job in a drugstore.
When we got cable tv as a child I saw the Monkees for the first time and I was hooked as a 8year old. I learned speaking english because of the show ( who wrote that stuff!!), and Davy Jones became my first love, hihihi.
As I grow older I forgot all about them, as my music interest chanched, but a few months ago I re descoverd the monkees all over again. The funny thing is, those first feelings of joy and fun and excitemend never left me because I feel it all again.
I had some catching up to do about the monkees, so I surfed the net for every detail about them, and what they've been up to. Bought some books on the net and updated my Ipod with my favorite monkeesongs.
When I landed on the Monkeeland board, I was happely surprised about all the info and all these people who felt...

Hello everyone!!

I just wanted to say hello to everyone here. I'm new to the board but i have been visiting for a few months. I've been a fan since 1986 when my mom made me watch the reruns on Nickelodeon. The show grew on me and i've been a fan ever since. Does that make me a 2nd or 3rd generation fan? My 8 year old loves them now his favorites are Micky and Peter.
I would love to have someone to talk about the Monkees with, so i guess i'm at the right place. My husband and friends will be happy now!
Dana

Hello Monkeeland, I'm James from Boston. I've been a Monkees fan since the mid 80s. I've watched their show from Nickelodeon and WLVI 56. I also have some of their greatest hits albums and I've attended a concert as well. I've always enjoyed the Monkees music and tv show and the whole story behind their success and the aftermath.

How did you get here?

It's an oldie but a goodie. How did you find your way to Monkeeland?

Hey Everybody,

I'm new to Monkeeland. Been looking for some people that I could talk to about the Monkees... that wouldn't give me funny looks. (Most of my friends at home do.)
I've been a fan since '86, thanks to my mom and MTV's Monkees Marathon. (Though my interest didn't truly grow till '97... since I was only 3 in '86.)
My favorite Monkee is Peter. I just absolutly admire him and think he's one of the smartest and strongest people I have ever met.

I'm looking forward to being a part of this community.

Hello. I'm new to Monkeeland

feeds@kickapps.com (Rock2HAL) — Wed, 04 Mar 2009 13:59:30 PST

Hi. I am new to Monkeeland but not new to The Monkees at all. My favorite Monkee is Peter and I co-own a Yahoo Group dedicated to him called The_Miracle_Of_Peter_Tork. I've met Peter three times and met Micky once and have seen The Monkees (minus Nez) two times. 20th and 30th Anniversary concert tours and have seen Peter with James Lee Stanley and with SSB. One of my Monkees collections is a denim Monkees jacket that my grandmother (who has since passed away) gave to me. So it has sentimental value in that regard. I also have a Monkees CD box set along with a few other CDs and have original albums of The Monkees on cassette tape too. I also have most of Peter's solo CDs and have most of SSB's and him and JLS's CDs too. Few of them are also autographed. Anyway, not much more to say. Hope to make a few online friends on here too.

Hello!

Hi everyone,

I'm Allison, 22, and live in New York City but I'm originally from Ohio. I've been a Monkees fan for half my lifetime (which I figured out last night.. so weird), but I'm new to the board. Back in the golden age of Monkees, I had a fansite and am currently working on a new one with my best friend (check it out, although it's not up yet! Warning, there are swears, but they're used in good fun. http://monkees.flaming-pie.net ). My favorite Monkee is Mike, with Micky coming in 2nd.

Not sure what else to say, but hello!

I am Sharon, nice to meet you all. I live in Concord, NC and saw Peter in November, 2008. After some research, was shocked to learn that he played a festival in NC for years close to my hometown, Winston-Salem, NC. Feel I've missed so much, but hoping one day he'll come back. I've asked to be added as a friend on his myspace but haven't been accepted yet. Have a great evening!

Hello. I'm Suz living in Philadelphia

feeds@kickapps.com (SuzInPhilly) — Tue, 18 Nov 2008 17:12:22 PST

Hello everyone. I've been looking about the forum and not quite sure where to post this.

My name is Susan Klein but back in the day I was Suz Macdonald. I worked with some Monkee fan club people, Sandi DeMastus (Peter's club) who lived in Washington state and Debbie Brown (a Micky fan who ran Michael's club) who lived in Indiana.

Some time back there was a picture of Peter used on a Vh1 special about the guys. I recognized the picture as one taken by Sandi so I was wondering if she perhaps still makes contact with Monkees people.

Okay, welp... that's it for now I guess.

Thanks for still being fans and take care !

Susan ...

Ironically... lol.. Bob Segar just came on the radio singing Old Time Rock & Roll... lol.. funny ... and a sign maybe... lol ...

Hi everyone!
I'm new here. My name is Sue and I am a happily married freelance writer living in New York City. I wasn't born until 1970 but I fell in love with the Monkees through the reruns on Saturdays and after school. I rediscovered them in 1986 when I was 16. My best friend and I were all set to go see them when their tour came to my town (I was born and raised in Massachusetts) but our plans fell through at the last minute after she got grounded. :-( Over the past few years my Monkee love dimmed some, not because I stopped loving them but because life just got in the way...I went through some tough times, then some good ones (got married, started my own business) but then I found YouTube and rekindled things. I bought the Season 1 DVD set from Amazon and once I finished watching them all I just had to have Season 2, which for some reason is about as easy to find (at least here in the U.S.) as a Monkees reunion, leading me to pay $137 for it on Ebay. Yes...

Not new...but new at the same time.

Hi everyone out in Monkeeland. I'm April and I've actually been around this place since around 2000-2001. I have the memory of a gnat at times and forget places I visit or just feel kind of quiet a lot of times and read and get information, but don't actually post. I guess because of this, I got lost in the move to Yuku and all the new people coming in.

Wow, it's been so long, I don't even know what to put. A quick synopsis on my life...I'm married, mama to one cat, a former teacher and at this point, I'm still trying to figure out what I want to be when I grow up. I'm from Alabama with the accent to match. I love to read, to write, I talk a lot, especially when I get excited. I discovered the Monkees back in the summer of '89 when I was 15 and my parents were having a hard time. The old re-runs and music gave me some much-needed happiness and escape. And so a life-long love-affair was born.

My husband swears that I...

A Big Hello!

feeds@kickapps.com (Papanez45) — Wed, 24 Sep 2008 16:37:57 PST

Greetings to all in Monkeeland!

I go by the handle Papanez45 and my name is Jim,but my friends just call me Pops. I'm 63 years young and have been a Monkees (Nez in particlar) fan since 1966,when my wife and myself visited the set of their show. It was in August and they were filming 'Monkees A La Carte'. We were there for the restuarant scene.
I joined the army in 1967 and went to Vietnam for my tour of duty. I came home in 1970.
I spend my time doing carpentry and having lemonaide on the front porch.
A week or so ago,I was out in the garage working on making some banisters and listening to Nez and my oldest son was telling me about Monkees sites on the internet and this place just looked so gosh darned friendly,I knew I picked the right place.

I'm New, Looks Like I've Come to the Right Place!

feeds@kickapps.com (Donna) — Fri, 12 Sep 2008 19:07:10 PST

Happy Anniversary!! Hello, I'm Donna, Monkee/Nez fan, c.1975. A little more than a month ago I started searching to see if anyone had heard anything other than the official line about a few things... maybe remastered HEAD w/commentary, Nez' 2nd book... ABC-TV episode #781 on DVD w/concert... and so I found my way to this place after scanning some other fan sites. I've read alot here this past month, I commend all the really great informative, current event and nostalgic posts which brought back a whole heaping lot of things I hadn't thought about in years. I'm impressed with the creativeness here too, very talented. It's been wonderful reading, in the context of continuing forward, so I decided to ask for commenting privilege to share the love with you fine folks.
Thanks very much for that and thank you for your dedication and being here for me to find!
