It's safe to say that Duane speaks on behalf of all of mAnitObaD/Team Toba/Team tobAOD... We thank everybody listed above for all the great memories and without a doubt, the best time any of us have ever had in Las Vegas! (thus far)

To the new members of mAnitObaD: Nicole and Corye...I actually met Nicole a couple of months before this thing started and she was on the fence about coming. I told her these were some of the best people you would have the pleasure of meeting and you won’t do Vegas the same way again. Sweetie, you’re welcome. Corye, brother, great having you out...the Manitoba contingent is pretty strong, and next year it will be even stronger. You’ve all been warned.

The Team tobAOD boys... Corye and Duane!
Corye was the one to introduce me to JackColton.com and had me planning on attending for over a year. Duane convinced me to rejoin the invasion after a lapse of poor judgment when I thought I couldn't make it. What did he say to get me to change my mind?
"These people are family." So true.
It was evident from the very first night with the AOD.
THANK YOU both for getting me tangled up in this crazy thing.

A.A.O.D aka Team AlOhaD, Hung, Toan, Mike etc...meeting you guys was like tagging up with my old high school crew. And special props to Hung for getting Nicole back to the hotel Monday night...good on ya, man. You all are a great squad...much respect.

I was a victim of Monday night at Marquee for sure, but AOD was there for me 100%. I can’t thank Hung, Cisco, Aria, Tonya, and Jenn enough for helping me get back to Rumor. Even though I didn't get the opportunity to meet either Tonya or Jenn during the invasion, they were the sweetest girls and it still astounds me that they would be so kind to a stranger. THANK YOU. Hopefully I didn't forget anyone, but if I did, THANK YOU.

Kenikki, pleasure meeting you as well. Last year during Halloween, Styna (who was with me) went downhill, all the way down hill, at Tryst. I thought I had lost her. The AOD family (it was my first invasion) stepped in and took care of her and nursed her back to health-in the club-and made sure she was safe and nobody got kicked out. They salvaged my night. LOVE THE AOD!

Duane. Dude. Sir. As far as all the new people I met, you and Nassau stand out as some of the coolest motherfuckers I've ever met. If it wasn't Vegas we would have had more time; as it was I didn't need to meet you at all-I already knew you. From the moment I spoke to you it was like meeting an old friend (much like the first time I met Aria) that I hadn't seen in a long time. I didn't really get to talk to your crew, my bad-please excuse my manners, I will make it up in the future. Also know that you energy lives on here; your mixtape got me through a really rough time, a stressed out remodel job and I can't thank you enough for making it. Listening to it reminds me of the invasion. Someday, in the future, you and I will finish an entire bottle of Crown in one sitting. Until then, peace and love be with you.

It was so great to see you again. I only got to hang out with you for a little bit in Jan. So I was glad to see you made it out. You are like family to me now just like the rest of the AOD. I'm glad Shane got to meet you and as you know my friend Jessica really liked meeting you! I'm still not brave enough to post the pic of you and I from XS but I'm sure it will creep out soon Much love to you!

Good times were had bro! We definitely should have hung out more.... there was actualyl a lot of people I meant to hang out more with but then again I tried my best hanging out with everyone lol

Ricky and Ata...I almost hate to say this, but you were the only two who’s safety I feared for this trip. No sleep, limited food and an amount of alcohol that could drown a Kennedy is a dangerous mix, but you impressed me with your survival skills. Guess I gotta step my game up. Glad to know you both...on to the next one.

Hahahaha... pretty sure myself and a few others just started a Special Forces division of the AOD. No sleep til the mission is met!
