Say Goodbye with a Meal Mix: Handsome Furs, Skizzy Mars, Sarabeth Tucek, Antonio Paul, The Shivers, United Fruit, Fan Modine,The Five One and more...

For the past six years I've known an amazing bunch of people through J-Fur's anthropology program. We've gone to concerts and on trips together, cooked food, boated, played shuffleboard, watched movies, spent holidays and been there for each other during some trying times. This week, four of them left to go into the field and begin their dissertation research. At the end of the summer two more will leave and in December yet another two.

As you can see, there have been and will be a lot of goodbye dinners in the next few months. While these are generally happy affairs, you can't help but be pleased that these people whom you've grown so close to have a chance to go off and study what it is they enjoy, there are also those feelings of sadness. Will you be back? Will I see you again? That is what this playlist is all about. Its not happy, not sad but it does say goodbye (hopefully only for a short while). It also says good luck to DR, Fedster, KD and HH.
