HI GUYS! I miss you! You are all looking mighty fine from the studio in Hollywood.
Michael, this is a kind post, and yes it was a very exciting moment, as you can see in the smile that's about to split my head in two. Meanwhile, you remain the man. Let's stage our own reunion at an OutKast show. It will be very meta. (And with you present, very metal.)
I wasn't sure how I'd feel visiting the 'Gum purely as a content consumer these past months, but I can say that, from this side of the divide, this place is as attractive in substance and commitment to the new (and the news) as it is in personality: A site for sore eyes. (You get it.) Contributing changed my life, and being a regular visitor enhances it immeasurably, perpetually.
MISS YOU // LOVE YOU.

Nathan, thank you for this. My only hope that week was that the horrendous incident could be something of a turning point, and the fact that Stereogum was able to be an agent in that made me love it, and what we've built here, even more than I'd thought possible. Appreciate your engagement and the note, man. Also, this is my first comment on Stereogum as a Los Angeleno, so here's to that, and to you.
Thanks, Luke! Appreciate you taking the (endless) time to make it through all of those (many, many) words. Stereogum's a special space, happy you've found it. Best to US!
Raptor Jesus! I remember that night, we were standing in front of Beerland. You should know that whenever I've seen your handle here, I've thought back to that night and imagined your comments being spoken out of your actual head (or how I remembered it) and this was a good thing! My overarching sense impression of you was positive, though I could see the effects of the day you'd had, which is probably why our interaction was on the shorter side. But you've always been lucid and a great community member here, so thanks for that, and thanks for being good to me. Godspeed to you, too, dude.
