I'LL MISS THIS BIG OLD RECORD STORE...I SPENT A MILLION HOURS HERE, ENDLESSLY SEARCHING FOR THE PERFECT SONGS TO FILL THE SOUNDTRACK TO MY LIFE. WHEN I FIRST MOVED HERE MY ALL-TIME #1 THEME SONG WAS "REGRET" BY NEW ORDER AND NOW IT'S TOTALLY "BIZARRE LOVE TRIANGLE" WHICH IS PROGRESS, IF YOU ASK ME.

SOMEONE MORE POPULAR WOULD'VE HAD A FAREWELL PARTY, OR SOME MEASURE OF FANFARE TO USHER THEM OUT OF THIS CITY. TONIGHT I GET A HOME-COOKED MEAL COURTESY OF KEVIN AND THAT'S MY SEND OFF. BUT THAT'S OK, I FIGURE I'LL START GENERATING MORE EXCITEMENT LATER ON, AFTER I GET TO CALIFORNIA.
