Happy 8 Year Anniversary of BnN!!

[eclv]

I know we say this every year but I find it so crazy that it has been 8 years. Wow! So many good times. So many great friends.

For those that weren't here at Nh.com at that time. We set up a fund to raise money to give Vanessa a thousand roses at TRL for her CD release day. We came up with the money and were able to present Vanessa with the roses on TRL. It was fantasitc. I have the episode on VHS somewhere. I don't know if it's online somewhere or not. After that taping she did an in store at Virgin Records. That was awesome too.

In case you are wondering, the following day, we went to Sloan Kettering Medical Center and donated the roses to the patients there.

Anyway. I hope Vanessa knows that we're all still here with the love and support and we remember.

I dug and found the 1 year anniversary thread. Too bad the photo links don't still work. But this does:

WOW! This is my first year on Nh.com, but I bought BnN shortly after release and had listened to ATM since it's release, so I am in shock that it has been 8 years of life with V providing the soundtrack!

I didn't know the roses story (indeed, I became a fan only last year...), that was very kind from you.

Every once in a while I wonder what my life would be like had I not met all of the awesome people I have through this VC experience. I'm very glad I don't have to ponder that reality too deeply.

Knowing how many of us still keep in contact and seeing how we've all grown over these eight years has been amazing. It is astounding to see what the power of great music can do.

Wow! 8 years since ATM?    It's been a long time.  

[Martin.]

Oh wow.

It'd be about six years since I first discovered V. I knew "A Thousand Miles" (who didn't), but it was pretty hard to keep up with V in the UK back then.

Hey...great to see you here again, Let.  I got on board shortly after this and made some good friends, if not fellow across-the-board music freaks.  Think I'll put on the whole album today.

I just realized how young I was when I bought BNN...wow.

[nessafan_sa]

Wow, 8 years?!  I only discovered V 2 years ago so it doesn't seem that long.. You guys are seriously hardcore nessaholics  Was anyone a fan of hers before BNN was released?

[Patricius]

8 years. o_o Wow.
And to think, I've only been stalking the forums for 2 years.

F*ck! That's so amazing. Nessa's fans are amazing people. For sure. Happy anniversarie, and let's hope for many, many more !

8 years?! That seems like a long time ago! LOL. I have burned a few songs of her on CDS(Back in the day I'd burn cds all the time..now I buy the actual CD to support the singer/band).  So, then I heard my cousin playing her CD so I went out and bought Vanessa's 1st CD and been hooked then. I'd say I have been a fan since 2002-2003-ish.

..I feel old now LOL.

Harmonium made me become a fan. BNN didn't really appeal to me - only 3 songs... Yeah, pretty predictable ones.

Been here all this time! Made a lot of friends who I'm still in touch with
I signed on the o-board in Feb 2002 but only here a few months later.
