Date – 9th April 2022

Time – 4:40pm till 9pm

Location – Central London, Zone 1

If you’re attending, please send your name/initials via this email: tommeetuplondon@gmail.com

The exact venue will be sent via this email approx a day before, and to celebrate Tom’s life, there will be speeches from those who knew Tom well, both from the early days and also more recently. Various video montages of their travel adventures with Tom will also be shown. Lee, John, Craig, Ian, Tim & Alex are working together to make this happen.

I’m afraid I won’t be there as I’m already on the road, but I have good faith in the organisers to do a good job of it.

The Tom Torero Tribute Book – Call to arms

March 10, 2022

This is a guest post from Bodi. I shall be contributing some writing to this project too.

Henlo Daygame frens.

A few of us are going to try and make a ‘tribute book’ for Tom’s family to read. If you’d like to send a message then please email: tomtributebook@gmail.com with your submission.

The book will be read by Tom’s family, and we hope show the the profound effect that Tom had on so many people. If Tom’s work, videos, books or coaching helped you or changed your life for the positive, please consider writing a tribute.

There’s no strict word count, but I guess around 10 to 1,000 words seems apt. It’d be good to get most of the submissions in by the time we have the Torero Remembrance meetup in London, or a couple of weeks after. (BTW meet is currently planned for 9th April in London, see https://twitter.com/LeeChoDaygame feed for details)

Myself and Alex (a daygaming friend of Tom’s) will collate and review them, check there isn’t anything inappropriate, etc.

On this note, please be diplomatic. For example, instead of writing:

“Tom helped me shag so many more birds. I’ll always fondly remember the time on my first bootcamp as he he flashed me a thumbs-up from over the road as a Serbian teen I’d only just met wanked me off at the bus stop”

You could write:

“Tom expanded my life horizons in so many fruitful ways. I’ll always remember his support and how much he helped me meet interesting new people and do interesting new things”.

Topics are freeform but here are some suggestions;

  • an anecdote of your time with him
  • the inspiration his material gave you
  • how he helped your overall life development
  • your favourite book or video he did
  • how he lifted your spirits

See you at the Memorial Meetup if I can make it
