Haha! The meeting went pretty well. We met with one of his employees who at first was a bit distracted and dismissive, but came around as I shared my story and we explained to him just how many people are affected by this disease. There isn't much that can be done at this time (lots of committees to organize, I guess) but at least we got our word out!
Hope all is well.

I plan to follow your example and "pick up the green pen." ;o)

Thanks for the kind blog comment, Tony. Writing blogs and hearing kind comments from my alopecia world friends always makes me feel better. I'm definitely feeling much better today. ;o)

Thanks!

Im off in 23 hrs =) Im excited about the trip.

Hi Tony. Thanks! Yes, I packed some things. Im nervous cuz im going from Sweden alone. But life is to short! Im GOING for it!!!!

Roger.

Hey Tony,
Glad I could help some way in making the decision to shave your head. I buzzed it short on mother's day and then a few weeks ago I took the razor to it, so I'm smooth now. I just felt like I needed to take control of this instead of just sitting there watching the hair fall out.

Soccer is going good. We just won our game Saturday morning, which was a big confidence booster for the girls. We played with only one sub the whole game and the other team had enough players to sub the whole team each time. Their coach before the game kept saying, you can forfeit if you want, but I kept saying no thanks so I'm glad we could beat them too. Are you a big soccer fan? Have you been catching any of the Euro 2008 games?

Hey Tony,
I am a Casting Director working on a TV series out of NYC...and currently looking for several men and women who are either bald naturally or have shaved their head. Of course, I am sensitive to alopecia, good taste & comfort level for any actor. This is a hot new series...hopefully you can help with some male/female suggestions (perhaps you?) and I can give you all the details about the show. I can be reached at StarFlowEntertainment@yahoo.com and can give you my phone number to talk. my website is http://www.StarFlowEntertainment.com for reference.
Thanks for reading this...I appreciate it.

Hey Tony I haven't been on in like a week so I'm trying to play catch-up with everyone... How are things with you? I read your blog about shaving your head. I did the same thing like 2 weeks ago. It really is a lot easier to go out in public (even though I still wear a hat most places). Well hope everything is going alright with you...

Tony you sound like an awesome person. Congrats on getting your freedom back.

Hi.

Yes Its really nice in the north.

Stockholm is nice too. Specially in the summers. We have lots of americans coming here. But like you said, its cold and snowy during the wintertime.

Yes, im going from Sweden the 18th to Louisville and going back the 23rd. I really hope I will get a great time and meet some new friends there.

Roger.

Nice! The state of New York looks nice, specially the north near New England, Maine and Vermont.

Me myself live in Stockholm, Sweden. Its a great city in the summers. In 2 weeks im going to the States for my first time. Hoping to meet some new friends in Louisville.

Take care, Roger.

Hi Tony.

Where in USA do you live?

Roger.

Thanks for the comments Tony. I don’t worry about the booking because honestly I deserved it. In fact, if I probably deserved the card earlier in the game. But the ref was horrible, and I never like to blame the refs because I’ve been in their shoes before. I just thought it was funny for the first game since most of the parents don’t know who I am. But it’s not like I made a scene or anything, it was just smart remarks here and there. I had a parent after the game say the same thing you did that I wouldn’t be doing my job as a coach if I didn’t get a booking at some point, it shows I care. Haha.

Anyway, how is everything going with you? Where about in NY do you live?

Thanks for replying to my blog. Your response was very helpful. It's interesting that you had the spots that weren't injected grow back on their own. I think I will go to the dr this Friday for my 2nd appt...but that will probably be the last time I go. It doesn't seem to me that the shots are worth it...especially when you have over a dozen bald spots to deal with.

Yup that's my mom! Let me know if you need any info.

Hey there! We're having a meeting this Thursday at 7:00. Let me know if you want details. Also, on Friday we are meeting with Assemblyman Joe Morelle at noon about the Bill we're hoping to get passed. We would love to have you to either meeting!

Welcome to the NY group! What part of NY are you from?

Hey Tony,
Welcome to Alopecia World.
I'm glad you are here.

Jeff

Welcome Tony. :)
