So I’ll officially be back in the real world on Saturday. For the week after, I’ll be looking to say thanks and hello to everyone who’s been so nice to me over the last few months. If you’re one of those people, or would like to be one, just leave a message with a good time to hang out at my regular number, 415-398-2421. And if you’re thinking of sending a letter, send it to:
1656 Powell, #203
San Francisco, CA 94133
Right now I’m returning notes to the last of the folks who sent me letters in here and making plans for once I’m back. Can’t wait!

Just so everyone doesn’t freak the eff out, no, I didn’t leave treatment. I was reading the new Richard Dawkins book while waiting for the shower to warm up, and as many of you know, running water has a sopporriffic effect on me. So I fell asleep, and the nurses freaked out. All is well!
Now that I’ve put that to rest, I’d like to thank everyone who showed up to my party on Sunday or sent a note. The love and support is what’s getting me through this rather difficult time, and I’m going to need all y’all more than ever when I get back. The good news is that I’ll be in a position to give support as well as receive it, and don’t worry, most if not all of you are on the ol’ ‘amends’ list already, with top priority.
Thanks again, I was as happy on Sunday as I’ve been for years. I had almost forgotten what it felt like, frankly.

I’m using one of the few online moments here to please encourage you to snail-mail me. I don’t have to pay for postage, so anything you send will get returned. Sadly, books and music won’t get through (nor will anything with sugar or caffeine — sigh), but nothing will get destroyed and I’m not sure you can imagine how much a personal note or photo would mean to a guy like me right about now.
Address:
Jackson West, c/o
MPI
3012 Summit
Oakland, CA 94609
On that note, who’s up for a party? Anyone who wants can drop by during visiting hours from 1-4pm on Sundays (at the above address). I’m thinking about sending out an evite for a rehab bash on Sunday, November 19th here at the center. I’d say it would be the king of wacky places to have a get together. And hey, we’re allowed music on Sundays!

I’m going to be hanging out behind closed doors for the next, well, foreseeable future. Email will be checked rather sparsely. I would like to hear your voice if you want to call, evenings are best. 510-869-8849 — you’ll know what’s up when the phone’s picked up.
I’m gonna be back, better than ever. In the mean time, I really could use the sound of a friend or fives voice.
