You'll be missed Ezra. I've enjoyed reading your work over the past few years. Best of luck. And if I ever find your bar, I'll assuredly drink there. Because I am nothing if not a drinker.
Always enjoyed your music/Blazer pieces, Ezra. Even remember when I lived in Seattle reading the show previews you did in that odd, mutant rocker dialect.
A little advice: kick the very first four or five customers out of your bar right away to set a behavioral tone.
That was the quintessential Mercury farewell post. It had everything: a jab at Matt Davis' banality, a Boat Cop reference, some real heart and was short enough that Frank Cassano probably won't take notice.
Bye Ezra! I'll miss reading your posts and articles, and then commenting on them. And I'll miss your photoshoppery. I hope those left will still occasionally throw around some second wave emo references, since they provide me good opportunities to complain about things. Glad you're still covering the blazers.
(Actually, I thought you left, like, three weeks ago. How many friggin' goodbyes do you get???)
Off to a new adventure. Congrats.

(He's generally agreeable, but only until it's time to not be agreeable any longer.)
