Painbrush left the room…
Sometimes, something tragic happens, something that makes my heart weep and my tongue get dry in my throat within milliseconds, something that after I realized it had me silently shed a tear of respect. Dan “Painbrush” Goudey, a dear member of the official Conan boards and general REH fanatic died on the first day of the new year. A man full of life, a man as close to a real-life Conan in many ways as one can get in appearance and talk has passed on.
He is one of those unique personalities that one meets in life, that are so strong, so much larger-than-life, that they have the power to change your perception of things.
I never had the chance to meet him in real life and I am now very sad for it, because he was a guy I would have loved to bear-hug, because he had such a positively crazy personality.
Head on over to The Cimmerian, to read a very interesting and more detailed description of the guy that impressed so many people and afterwards raise your keg and drink to the shade of a literally Great Guy!
I bow my head and raise my keg and hope to hear your barbaric YAWP echoing through the misty void, when we finally meet again, somewhere, somehow… some-when.
