This arrived in my in box, with the above subject line. It runs as written. . .
Hello to all,

I have some sad news to pass on to everyone. As of today the Front
Door as we know and love has gone. A new owner has purchased the
place and let me go. It will now become part of the Reef and its
management team. Alex has left on his own accord and I am not sure
who of the remaining staff will stay. I may have bad things to say
about this, but unlike one of my trusted former employees I will not
bad mouth anyone; that wouldn’t help my future cause, you know karma.

I promise this, I will resurface, and as long as I am here, I will
make sure there is a beer scene of this magnitude in Boise. I, along
with Matt from the Co-op, are going to plan a wake for the Front Door
so we can all say goodbye. We are going to plan it sometime soon so I
will keep you updated on that.

If it is alright I am going to hold on to all of your email addresses
so I can keep you updated on what is going on with my future plans.

There is one keg of Abyss left which I am sure they will be tapping soon.

Thank you to all of you for the support you have shown our cause. I
have truly loved creating the Front Door and getting to know all of
you.

I will be in touch,

Shane
