My Darling Dearest Las Vegas Goth Industrial & Noise community,


We have had some incredible times, considering our meeting started on a chance introduction. Our time together has been an incredible affair, with a few tumultuous moments, but all and all some spectaclular things have come from our closeness. But a candle that burns this bright doesn't always burn long. We both know that; we have both known that. This is a horrible point in the season to say this, being so close to Valentine's Day and considering that we have made plans.....

I have to be honest, as of late I've felt the relationship... well, I hate to say it... a hair lacking and I feel that you need some time for growth.

There have been times when you've let yourself go; there were times when I wasn't always honest with you. I adore you, but I cannot continue this charade. Friday, this Friday, has to be the last time we see each other.

Sure, you will still have our DJs and promoters kicking around, but they, too, might need some time to heal; to make a clean break of it.

But the DJs and promoters were never really our realationship, that meaningful thing betwix a night and its patrons. You made me, and I will always love you for that. but now it is time for me to go

You might see me in other cities and I hope you come and talk to me. We will always have... something.... but it can never be what it once was here under the neon of Vegas.

I will always miss our experimentation together; those exciting nights when we tried something new together. Some were great- and, yes, some weren't- but we moved past it. I think we came out better people for those... messy times...

Things were a little wild, a little crazy, figuring out what works, but hey! We were finding out who we were. I'll always cherish you for having shared those times with me.

I know you'll do fine; I know that you'll find a safe hAveN. What event wouldn't be proud to have you? You are a wonderful, gorgeous, strong scene I will always remember fondly.


Keep dancing, drinking, and dreaming,

-Sanctuary
