AFTERWORD by Aaron Michael Thomas: Wow! THANK YOU to everyone who has discovered my documentary and given such wonderful feedback! As a YouTube video it nearly quadrupled in views over a weekend, and I don't know how everyone discovered it. But I'm so happy that you did. I just want to let everyone know that I am actively working on Part 2 [now completed] and will work to get it out as soon as possible, while also not rushing until I feel that it's as good as it can be. I put out Part 1 when I did because I wanted to hit a specific -- albeit arbitrary -- deadline, which was the 40th anniversary of the original Moose Lodge gig. I have a full-time job, and I am a father of two young kids, so I don't get to spend as much time on this as I would like, but I am working on it whenever I can. Thank you all again!
