We've decided to not renew our lease and are calling it quits in Expo Park area after 9 long and rewarding years. A very special thanks goes out to all the patrons, DJs, bands, open-mic'ers and bartenders that made the times fantastically enjoyable and amazingly memorable! The personal names to thank are too many to mention but a very warm thank you to all of you who really made Fallout Lounge such a fun place to be.
However, the necessary short list that must be mentioned and give an indebted and most gracious thanks to are Thomas Rusher for always being at the ready for any and all critical problems, John Swanson, for a bullet proof work ethic and honesty beyond mention, Amanda Douglas for resilient booking and creative theme ideas, Joe Silva for always being there when we needed him to the last, Michael Libbermann from Pizza Lounge for being a stand up guy, friend and best neighbor anybody could ask for, Gabriel Mendoza, Keri Williams, Felix Flores, Brian DeVries, Tim Austin, Chase Dillon, Tabitha Neises, Howard Kelly and Jeff Hargrove. Below really sums up my Fallout Lounge experience.
Cheers!
To laugh often and much;
To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children;
To earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends;
To appreciate beauty, to find the best in others;
To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition;
To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived.
This is to have succeeded. --Unknown author (usually attributed to Emerson).
