goodbye! (+ final bottle rocket playlist)

So...

For the second time in a year, Bottle Rocket is no more. Our time at the Flying Duck was short but sweet - a nice coda to our 5-year stint at Nice N Sleazy, but one which has now drawn to an end. We won't rule out the possibility of occasional one-off parties sometime in the future, but as a monthly residency-type thing, that's yer lot. Thanks to everyone who ever stopped by and joined in the dancing.
