11 years! I wish we could post a picture of every single person who has made the roost what it is. my heart aches with thankfulness for everyone. for the well-trodden staircase that shows how oft-visited we have been. for the dedication of our staff and our guests, who take turns conjuring and revelling in the magic of this place, that I feel all the time. for the hard knocks, the bitter pills, and every opportunity to try another day.
our staff are (and have always been) so special. they show us that a little place can mean a whole lot. they remind us what matters. they bring joy. we are blessed to have them.
& thank you to “the boys” (my boys), who answer every call, who built it all. you gave me the space to put my heart out there creatively, and continually make it possible for us. I’m so glad we’ve gotten to do this together. 11 years ago we were 21, ripping each other around the wholesale parking lot in shopping carts. everything was brand new, most especially us. so young and dumb and full of conviction. we’ve grown up together. It’s been a blessing, a curse, an honour, a sh*tshow, and an absolute delight.
on behalf of all of us, thank you to everyone who has been a part of our story. we’re grateful to be here. goodnight, love you! 💖
