	The Berger	Michelle <3 Hoping you get all the goodness out of life that you bring to it. I wish I could write something sentimenal, but many people are reading this, so... Very sad about your departure but really excited for you as well. Bittersweet. I suppose that will suffice for now. Take care. -- Laura   Posted by The Berger on Tuesday, June 03, 2008 - 6:49 PM [Reply to this]

	Gumbyjag	While this is a huge shock, best of luck to you, Michelle, I'm confident that your solo stuff will be nothing short of breathtaking.   Posted by Gumbyjag on Tuesday, June 03, 2008 - 6:51 PM [Reply to this]

	veronica Veronica Eros	awe that makes me sad and happy all at once. sad cause i dont want you to leave straylight run and happy cause i love your voice and cant wait to hear some side project material!   Posted by veronica on Tuesday, June 03, 2008 - 6:54 PM [Reply to this]

	Brit0 Brittany Everett	Awww I was sooo happy before opening this, and was kinda excited to tell you how I have been playing a certain part of 'Take It To Manhattan' over and over in my head today. This is a bummer. I'll miss you in SR, Michelle.. :( Good luck on your new project, though.   Posted by Brit0 on Tuesday, June 03, 2008 - 6:59 PM [Reply to this]

	GØAT Eric Riley	Heartbreak. Still, now we get to listen to TWO awesome records, a new SR one and Michelle's solo one. It's still not gonna be the same though...   Posted by GØAT on Tuesday, June 03, 2008 - 7:08 PM [Reply to this]

	Bobby! *AFL50* Bobby Chavarria ツ	You know I have always told friends that You would be great if you did a solo thing but I never expected that you would leave straylight run i thought i would have both but i know its hard to handle but i wish you the best of luck and no it will be great cause i have actually looked forward to that before this. Straylight Run..maybe a little heavier? scream scream bye :D   Posted by Bobby! *AFL50* on Tuesday, June 03, 2008 - 7:08 PM [Reply to this]

	McKenzie Elizabeth McKenzie Wise	=( Good luck Michelle.   Posted by McKenzie Elizabeth on Tuesday, June 03, 2008 - 7:14 PM [Reply to this]

	Erik Erik Aguilar	I am so stoked! I know that Straylight Run will keep putting out great music... and Michelle, with her beautiful voice and awesome guitar/piano playing, the possibilities are endless... "all the possibilities and promise just weigh on me so heavily" and to everyone who said they didn't see it coming... well... "we should have seen it coming... we left ourselves wide open..." lol Best wishes Michelle! As one amazing era ends... another with limitless potential begins! =] <333   Posted by Erik on Tuesday, June 03, 2008 - 7:20 PM [Reply to this]

	erin Erin Wyer	Like I said on the blog- Michelle grew so much along with the rest of the band. I'm anxious to hear solo stuff; it's been too often that people preferred John's vocals over Michelle's. It's good to know she feels like she can step out on her own.   Posted by erin on Tuesday, June 03, 2008 - 7:29 PM [Reply to this]

	I-zek! Isaac Garcia	I think a part of me just died! I don't understand why ruin such a great thing? Because honestly it is the dynamic and harmony between john and Michelle that keep people listening no matter what direction they go in. A solo en devour is wonderful, but why leave the band altogether? The pieces just don't seem to fit right with me I mean look at all of ben gibbards projects, even jenny lewis. I"M SO DEVASTATEDp!   Posted by I-zek! on Tuesday, June 03, 2008 - 11:10 PM [Reply to this]
