Arrivederci Roma
Tonight marks the end of an era. The illustrious Fruit Brute is leaving the Castle proper here in Atlanta, Georgia for untold adventures across the States. Fruit and I have known each other for quite some time, living in the same state for seven years. Through many different creative ventures we have collaborated all this time, and it’s been a joy to work with such talent.
We have decked the halls of the Castle out in various shades of pink bunting from stem to stern, and he is holding court for all of his adoring subjects. Join me in wishing him a fond farewell, a bon voyage, arrivederci Roma.
At times like this, I might not have the words to express the colors of my sentiment, but maybe the words of a Kander and Ebb song might help.
What good is sitting alone in your room? Come hear the music play. Life is a Cabaret, old chum, Come to the Cabaret.And as for me,
I made up my mind back in Chelsea,
When I go, I'm going like Elsie.Start by admitting
From cradle to tomb
Isn't that long a stay.
Life is a Cabaret, old chum,
Only a Cabaret, old chum,
And I love a Cabaret!

hey fruit, where are you moving to?
Wow, you get a TON of film geek points for the appropriate movie cap! Awesome.
I'm reading between the weird oblique movie-metaphor lines here. Is Fruit merely moving to a new town or state, or leaving the site he created?
It'll be a bummer to have the only one around here older than me gone, if the latter is the case. Not to mention the whole "founder leaving" stigma that would accompany such a move.
Wait. I too am confuzzled. Is Fruit Brute leaving the site? If he is, I will cry.
I love you Fruit Brute!!!
*sob*
Don't worry everyone, I'm just moving to another state and then eventually, yet another state. But I'm not leaving the site, I love it and all of you too much!
Whew. Good luck with the move!
Huzzah!
Best of luck in your adventures!
Wide idea to keep the states in question secret to us. We might try to mob you! ;)
