Thanks to all my super friends for a lovely farewell party this evening at New World. I loved my special octopus cake made by Ms. Emily of Rise & Grind Bakery. <3

CONVERGE - "Farewell Note To The City"

Disenchanting the romantic
This is the real, this is the shame
These limbs search feverishly for the gift of gravity
Coarse twine tears clean
And I have thought about this very instance for all time
Decades longer than you or I
Crimson comforting, scorching this flesh
giving its caring for me
And I have thought about these moments for all time
dangling from a silver lining
these lungs welcome the crimson tide of misfortune
Hell to pay
This is my farewell to this city

Emily of Rise & Grind Bakery made this lovely vegan cake. Almost too lovely to eat - almost!

SPRAYNARD - "That's A Cake!"

And I was just about to give it,
I grabbed my things and I was half way out the door,
But as I took that step I remembered what you said,
"When it seems like this town has finally hit the ground,
think of every night that we felt invincible, and recreate it."

I know you're dying, I know you feel like giving up
but all I ask is one more night to scream at the top of your lungs.
We’ve got to wake up.
We’ve got to make the dreams we have at night part of daytime reality.

And sometimes I fucking hate myself and I want to get out of this town
and find brand new people and brand new reasons to fucking hate myself.
But then I walk these streets and I see why we keep pushing on to build a community.
