Halifax, thanks for being my home for the past 9 years. You've introduced me to so many things and wonderful people. I have an amazing band that I am so sad to leave but so grateful to have had the pleasure to work with. All my friends who stuck with me through shitty times, through apartments packed to the brim with punks and kitty poops, through shitty bosses bullying us, through hear aches and joblessness; you guys are the reason I stayed so long and you are the reason I will come back. I love you all so damn much. —A manko leaving the nest
