2007 / April 2nd/ Happy Birthday, Bryan

This is just a quick Happy B-day to Bryan Veloso of Avalonstar fame. For those of you who haven’t heard, Bryan had to take his site down a little while ago. The following was posted up by Jen:

Dear Avalonstar Readers,

Many of you may know my name from the times Bryan has mentioned me in his entries, podcasts, etc. I am Jen, Bryan’s fiancé. I know how important this site is to Bryan and all the people who have supported him over the years, so I wanted to make sure that you guys are not entirely in the dark even though I am limited in what I’m allowed to say.

Due to circumstances beyond his control, Bryan has been forced to take Avalonstar down indefinitely. He is needless to say a bit restless and emotional and he doesn’t seem to want to talk about it too much. He has, however, allowed me to write this message. We are trying to make any arrangements that are possible, but it’s proving… complicated. As of right now we are uncertain of what is going to happen and even the feasibility of bringing Avalonstar back. In the meantime, I ask that you all continue to support Bryan and Avalonstar as usual, and please wish for the best.

Like I said, nothing is certain at the moment but I will say one thing… this could change everything.

Sincerely,
Jen V.

Me and a few friends put together a little we-miss-you present for Bryan. Here’s my <3 for Avalonstar.

Avalonstar <3

I’ll keep updating the site throughout the day with more messages as I get them.

    Noone seems to know exactly, at least of the people I know… I hope Bryan will get back soon and that all turns out well…

    Sounds like legal issues.

    It’s pretty pity to see this ending for Avalonstar.
    Hopefully it’s just an April Fool jokes.

    Mid-life crisis?

    It does have the wording that is suggestive of a legal issue, I agree, Jimmy. It’s all rather dubious how nothing was mentioned in the letter - but then I should think it also something they wish not to discuss publically (at least for the time being, perhaps).

    Just so everyone one knows and willing be more informed of Bryan’s situation, he has posted a new slightly cryptic explanation of his reasons for removing his sites content. To me, it seems more like some sort of personalized mental anguish getting to him, maybe just a new level of burnout he’s yet to experience. But the good news, is he clearly states that someday AvalonStar will return.
