Shout out to Tony!

I’m dedicating today’s post to Tony Stubblefield of Jaskets. For well over a year (maybe more) I suggested that Eric (he will say I ‘nagged’ him) get a Facebook account and start updating people on his workshops and what he’s been up to. If you know Eric, then you know he is somewhat private and the last thing he wants to do is talk about himself! A good trait. However, when you work for yourself, you have to sell yourself. I could not convince him.

However, last May, Eric and I were at Tony’s in St. Louis for a workshop. Throughout the day, Tony was uploading pics to Facebook and then reading out loud responses from his many friends. I believe Eric made a comment about how cool that was and then Tony said “You should get on Facebook.” Shortly after, Eric walked over to me and said “Lynne, we should open a facebook account.” I could not believe it! Especially since he acted like he had an epiphany and it was not of my doing. When we got home, I happily got him online. And within a few months he had over 200 friends. I think I had 30 friends and I’ve had my account for a couple years!

So Tony, all I can say is you’ve created a monster! He reminds me often how many ‘friends’ he has!

  1. LOL. Glad I could be a cattle prod. I have enjoyed the status updates and now reading your blog. Hope you two are able to make it back to St. Louis soon.
