FROM THE GATES OF SLUMBER:
My best friend died last night. There will be no reunion - no more of TGoS. It's dead beyond dead, and I've lost a brother. 

Please be respectful or silent. It's a small world and I'm still alive. Remember that shit.


 Please understand, with regards to my post here from two nights back that I was in a bad place and had broken my sobriety - the "statement" had a definite dick head vibe that I don't want in my life anymore, it's not who I am or where I'm at. Please understand it came from a lot of hurt and booze. I'm sorry.
With regards to any future for TGoS, there can't be one now. And I'm very sad about this. I'd hoped we could iron out our differences and move on. Sadly that can't come to pass now.
