In honour of reaching 5000 followers on Twitter

@JimmyMcGorman
My family. Dad plays the piano and sings. Mom is an entertainer and writer. It was in the genes

@Avril_stoned
I'll teach you somthing :D for example "Jimmy è un fottuto idolo, lo adoro" means "Jimmy is an effin' idol, love him!" :D
@JimmyMcGorman
That is freakin' awesome!!! Thanks for the lesson!
@Avril_stoned

@JimmyMcGorman
hey hey you you - I don't know

@PortugalLovesAv
Please come with
@AvrilLavigne to PORTUGAL ! Please ? :/
@JimmyMcGorman
If @AvrilLavigne is there I will be there!

@paulg1989

@JimmyMcGorman
I only have the dates that are on the @AvrilLavigne website. We are scheduled to play Britain's Got Talent this week

@EricStanL
i'm MP&E student at Berklee i'm one of the best students, do you think could i work with Miss Lavigne?
@JimmyMcGorman
I heard that @AvrilLavigne was lookn for a guitarist in late 2006. I was the last person to audition
@JimmyMcGorman 
I was an MP&E major too. Not sure we need anyone right now, but keep rockin!
@EricStanL
i hope someday! Fekete looks like he is so shy, he really is?
@JimmyMcGorman
@stevefekete was out late at the #Prince concert last night. He is a late sleeper and a lollygagger

@Ferlazz
Regarding Avril auditions, - Jimmy blew away everybody else!! He may have been the last to audition, but was no#1 choice!!
@JimmyMcGorman
Thanks LAZZ - you're no slouch yourself

@victhorsousaa
Crazy Bicth!
@JimmyMcGorman 
Dope Ass Pimp!

@adambandaids
The headlines are totally blowing the Rays concert thing out of proportion (as usual), right? We hear she only swore once lol
@JimmyMcGorman
the press blew it way out of proportion. There are a few F bombs in @AvrilLavigne 's lyrics. And she may have a said it twice

@victhorsousaa
Come to Brazil, Pliz!
@JimmyMcGorman
I heard a rumor that we may be there in July?? Not confirmed though.

@Vitor_Avelar
and can you say when they are going to Brazil ?
@JimmyMcGorman
I heard a rumor we might go in the summer - but again, I don't have exact details

@lavigneamanda
Could you please let us know, will u guys visit sweden or not? #AvrilToSweden. Just a simply Yes&No?
@JimmyMcGorman 
I don't have our schedule beyond is posted on Av's site. I would think we will go - but I don't make those decisions

@Mattice_Shaun
whats up Jimmy how are you, did you and Avril have fun at the ball game
@JimmyMcGorman
we had a blast at the game. We had never played on a baseball field before. Super fun. Had some technical stuff at the start

@JimmyMcGorman
I guess the party is over. Twitter said I made too many updates. We will do it again soon. Thanks to all who came!! So much fun!
