I just wanted to say that Brandon or brenda as I called him, was an absolute blast to work with. That was one of the best jobs I had but it wouldn't have been that way if brandon wasn't the guy he was. We would talk about anything from relationship issues to music etc. When we got laid off from there we still would call eachother every once in awhile to catch up on stuff. I am going to miss that. I already miss the chinese food take out from jasmin, Brandon Ivvanee and I would order for lunch. I would always tell him the issues I had with friends and he thought of it as a soap opera lol. He called us the mall monkeys it was great. He was a great person and a good friend I will miss him dearly.
ps this is one of my favorite and most memorable conversations with him.

Me " what do you think happens after you die"?
Brandon " Do you remember what it was like before you were born"?
Me "no"
Brandon " Thats what it will be like".
lol RIP buddy ill always remember you I have the art cards and stuff you gave me and will keep it forever.

Passwords for posting, and improvements coming

Hi everyone.

First, I'd like to thank all of you that came to Brandon's memorial at Capsule Event Center last night. It was a special evening, and his family was touched and grateful.

Brandi Shigley will be moving the blog to a better set-up -- one that is more like an open forum and less like a personal blog -- when she returns from an out-of-town trip next week.

Brandon Borcharachi....

although i didn't know brandon very well, i've had the pleasure to hang out with him the past 2 weekends at Pod for the art shows. i called him brandon borcharachi and he gave me the new nick name of "shiggadoo".

his warm and gentle spirit makes anybody feel at ease. this past first friday, brandon was dressed so dapper that i grabbed him by the arm and said, "come on, let's go have a photoshoot!" he was a little shy at first but he let me just shoot away and then he took some fun pictures of me in front of his artwork. it was such a fun moment. brandon's the kind of person that even if you meet him for the first time, you feel like you've been friends forever. he has such a kindrid spirit.

i feel blessed to have had the opportunity to hang out with him. he is an amazing person and will be missed and thought about often.
