Lord. I don't know where to begin. Best hushabye ever. Chicago, St. Louis, Toledo, Cinci, Columbus, Dayton, Indy and Lex reppin HARD. The sound? Bows down to the bass gods (womenrespondtobass)...Nate thanks you so much for lending us your sound. Amazing! Brian, ben and Terry.. thank you for using your knowledge and skill to synthesize it into some of the best sound ever. James Blair thank you for your continued support, if only in spirit. It was, is and always will be a pleasure tohave worked with you in any quantity. I'm your fan.
How amazing were Kert, Terry, Ben and Nitro's sets? (special props to Terry and Ben-- I can't tell you how proud I am of you--BREAKTHROUGH!)
Lindz: you did it lady. Thank you for everything. You are number one. And see, I told you that you wouldn't have to be on the door all night. Also thank you for being a GREAT hall monitor at the Hushabye House-- pet pet pet.
Great to see so many great family faces there. I looked around the room going, "homie, homie, homie, homie, homie, homie, homie, homie, homie, homie, homie, homie, homie, homie, homie, homie, homie, homie, homie, homie, homie, homie, homie, homie, homie, homie, homie, homie, homie, homie, homie, homie, homie, homie, homie, homie, homie, homie, homie, homie, homie, homie, homie, homie, homie, homie, homie, homie, homie, homie, homie, homie..." from krack heads, to Lex-vegas pimps, to the restart comrades. GOOD GOD.
I'm bruised from hugs. Seriously.
OLI AND MENDY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Happy fucking anniversary. We can't wait to party with you and your whole city for derby! Please tell Nick again how great it was to meet him and extend an invite back for Derby and anytime. Also, I think you're right Oli, we need a non-party visit from you guys to kick it, eat southern food and watch cable TV. We love you guys so much!
Ryan D: thanks for quitting your job for Hushabye. You are my homie.
Kert: Thanks for calling in for Hushabye and showing to drop the bomb.
Nate-FX: Lovely lady there with you. You two are cute and she likes to boogie no less. W00t. hollerback.
Gavin: glad to see you and Nitro together again. It made me really happy. Thank you for not puking on my floor, doctor! (pet pet pet pet)
And the good news is that we raised enough money to pay for Ricky's eye medication for a month, which is significant to say the least.
Extra special thanks to Chris Blocker for taking care of our door and just being one of the 30 good people that we could trust with our cash box. Love you so much. And also to Tim Vogel. You know why brother.
There are so many other people to thank that I will not be able to list them all. Hushabye was filled with 200 people that came through all the way. They showed that if we all work together and be kind to each other that somewhere, in one black room, in a discreet southern town... something very magic, fleeting and special can happen. We should not take it for granted. I love you guys. Honestly...
