exodus!

Congrats Amy Kate, you are super fabulous. I wish I could tell you in person, but I'll be out of town. Thanks for all the work behind the scenes and making fun slog happys

Best Regards,

OM

Making the way for a new era! @1

Frowny face.

I'll miss you. I'll be drowning my sorrows on a golf course this afternoon, but still.

i is BEREFT!

fortunately you're my belly dance teacher so it isn't really goodbye for me. anybody wanna see me balance a sword on my head tonight at slog happy?

Why was Amy Kate fired? What's the story, Dan?

Just kidding.

Sorry to see you go Amy, best of luck with your future efforts!

I was thinking about making an appearance... but things are really tight this month, you know, with that mental recession going on and all.

All the best to you!

Amy Kate belly dances? Hot.

Not sure if I'll make it tonight folks, even though I'm two blocks away. Deadlines n'shit.

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooo! Don't leave Amy!

Darn, you were our fave, Amy Kate!

See you in a few hours.

She's probably off to work for the Pit Bull Conservancy.

I'll go if AKH belly dances and STM balances a sword on her head, tho.

Congrats and you'll be missed.

the bad news: Amy Kate's being replaced by "Chelsea Alvarez-Bell"....at least for a week or so, when Mark Mitchell will take over.

What's up with this? First Brad S. announced he's leaving and now you?! Sad for us, but glad you're excited about moving on to other, perhaps greener pastures.

@9 Come on. Caaa-maaaaahn! If you're only two blocks away, doesn't that mean you could just go back to the office afterward?

See you all tonight!

Sad to see you go, Amy Kate. Any idea where you'd like to land?

I can't blame you for leaving. Wish you the best, and sorry I can't make it. Good luck.

I forbid you to go -- I FORBID IT.

And remember, I was the only one who bought you flowers.

Hmmm. Mr Poe isn't going, W7nman is busy "working", Aislinn has all but disappeared....I wonder if the are all not going to Slog Happy tonight together?

Aw! Why can't Charles and ECB move on to bigger and bett-... well, just move on?

Good luck!

If you must know:

Aislinn is at school tonight and has no internet except at my apartment.

I'm finishing the 2009 edition of very large ICD-9-CM coding book after converting it completely to the software-based book generator/compiler that I wrote over the last three months.

I haven't hung out with Poe and the jew in over a month, and I have no idea what he's up to tonight.

i never knew you. can really say i'm sad. i guess indifferent. good luck i guess.

So, will the next compooper guru at the stranger decide to finally ban me?

Amy has always been fair.

"K serah serah"...good luck on the happy trails to you...

Call me. We'll hang.

I guess I'll come and say goodbye, this time though I won't bring pie.

/poet-try

AMY KATE! You go right back in there and unresign! You hear me, young lady?

You'll be missed. I might not have started slogging if it wasn't for you. I think I asked Corianton to settle a dispute as to whether a salacious word, which I've sadly forgotten now, was hyphenated, two words, or one word. It might have been "buttmunch". You sided with me, and ever since I've been an Amy Kate Hornbooster.

Dang, I knew I should have remembered to bring pie ...

Wow, so many people have left the Stranger lately. Are you guys in trouble? (Retort calling me a "Weekly Staffer" coming in 5, 4, 3, 2....

I'm psyched for the best part of Slog Happy, namely, the dramatic moment when Mr. Poe doesn't show up.

Shit. Amy Kate, you are awesome. Sorry I can't be there tonight. Good luck wherever you land.

And remember- though you may look a teensy weensy bit like Diablo Cody, I met her at a party and you're way cooler and better looking.

I've always loved three-named personalities, especially ones as nice as AKH - but as a former sailor, there's never a time I don't think of you as Amy Cape Horn. Best of luck in your new less salacious work indulgences. Cheers....

Working at the Stranger isn't a challenge?

Who's Dan going to call in the middle of the night now to fix the grammar and spelling in his Slog posts?

Good luck to you, AKH.

Aw, Amy Kate, we're all going to miss you. You've kept commenters and Slog and Slog Happy in line and you've done it wonderfully. Good luck with the new challenge. Wish I could tell you in person, but the apartment won't clean itself.

Amy Kate, you is the coolest.

So is The Steinbacher.

Best of luck to you both.

My dear Horn:

Best wishes.

Amy Kate...sniff...

I will never ever ever ever ever ever ever forget you for inviting me to Freaky Friday. It came at a really tough time in my life (you know...I'm doing much better now, thank you), so it was a nice ego boost.

I really wish I was in Seattle tonight.

Amy Kate, you will be sincerely missed.

Maybe I'll make it next time, but for this month, I'm gonna make like Mr. Snuffleupagus and stay in hiding. But I hope everyone has fun and doesn't get so wasted they have to call in sick for work Friday. Or whatever.

Good luck, Amy.

malheuresement, i arrived as the party was breaking up. there was absolutement pas de privacy on that deck! however, the leftover pommes frites were delicious and la vue tres belle. and amy never looked lovelier!

let's all do this again next month, but at a place with more room and privacy. maybe havana's.

I hope you had a fun time tonight. Good luck.

Sorry I missed you Ms. Tyler Moore.

At first I couldn't believe that Amy Kate was leaving, and then I felt really put out that she would do such a thing. I started to feel like if only she would stay a little longer maybe it would be all right, and then I was just sad about it. But now I feel like maybe things will be OK after all.

Next month, can we be at someplace with those absurd child barriers around the bar (the ones at El Chupacabra are the most laughable) so I can strap the man child to me?

Amy Kate, thanks for putting up with all of us. Had a great time tonight. All the best.

Amy Kate, thanks for all your work organizing Slog Happy for us. You are awesome and I wish you the best in your future endeavors.

Hernandez, 2nd & Stewart scary. 2nd and University shiny happy people.

Apologies to all for the brain fluid and lice conversations.

I feel a bit sad missing Slog Happy, but I figured since it's been a month since I posted anything, I could sit this one out. At least I heard that it, uh, wasn't very fun, so I don't feel so left out.

you'll be missed: who else has the fortitude to police grammar and improve house style in your absence? best of luck!

elenchos, does this mean you guys had your kid? If so, congratulations!!!

No, no, Sven. Though I'm absolutely *certain* that today is the day. Positive. Today for sure.

I just meant that a month from now that kid will have been out. One way or another.

Amy Kate, I'll miss the way you classed up the Slog, as well as your wonderful work to make Slog happy hour a fun thing to do every month. Good luck wherever you end up.

Aw, damn. Now I'm really sorry I wasn't able to make it last night.

Congratulations, and good luck on your new venture, Amy Kate. You've truly been a class act at The Stranger.
