In Which a Page is Turned

Hello friends! We'd like to start off by offering a big ol' heartfelt Thank You to everyone who was able to make it out to our Last Weekend Ever. ​

And while we are... unhappy with the way the City of Everett decided to see us off,* we've honestly pretty much gotten used to the city being actively antagonistic towards us and right now we'd rather focus on the positives. And what positives they were - starting all the way back at the Hippo Auction (remember the Hippo Auction? That feels like it was forever** ago) it was just nonstop wall-to-wall good vibes and friendship and all that good shit. The auction was one of the most fun/chaotic times we've had in a long time and we definitely made a good call "playing it cool" on Friday because Saturday and Sunday were very very intense. They were incredible, but it turns out that spending two days partying full-steam-ahead with all your favorite people (some of whom came in from out of town just to hang out) and also having deep, heartfelt conversations with as many of those people as possible and then rocking out to some of the best, loudest, fastest bands ever until the cops show up and fuck it all up before we can even say "goodbye" or "thank you" to everyone who had come to see us off into the void - it turns out that that's a pretty intense experience. Words can't express how happy we are that so many awesome people came out to celebrate the end of the world with us, and even if they could I feel like at some point I'm just saying the same thing over and over again.

So. One more time: thank you. Thank you for all the times you've come to hang out and drink beers and color in the coloring contest and all the times we've gotten to meet your dogs and thank you for taking part in our weird trivia nights and tolerating the terrible prizes we give out and thank you for enjoying all the cask beers we've made and thank you for eating so many hot dogs and thank you for letting us brew beer for your band and thank you for brightening our days when you came by because we're always glad to see you - y'all are some of the coolest people we've ever met and we're incredibly lucky we've gotten to know you. Thanks for making us part of your lives, and thanks for being a part of ours.

We love you all, and we'll be back on the blog soon. <3 

* In case you weren't there, they preëmptively sent out a police officer to stand around in the taproom for several hours before we closed, and then sent backup to arrive the minute it was time to get people to leave. The office on duty claimed that he was "part of a detail going to bars in the area," but that implies that other similar establishments would also have police detail (they did not). We're pissed about it - a lot of people were - especially because we weren't given any warning, but it does feel very on-brand for Everett.
** "Hurr hurr, it was last year." Shut up.
