I’ve been driving, for what seems like forever and a day. Straight up the high way that divides this fallen state. It started raining and I don’t care because today I packed my bags and got the hell out of dodge.
And the leaves, they’ve started changing and the cold is setting in. And my body started aching, my hearts pounding in my head.
We all put on costumes and flooded in like a disease, to throw a party like the ones in the movies. Everybody was wasted, everybody except for you and me and I wouldn’t change that for the world.
And I know we haven’t spoken in what seams like forever. But I wanted to wish you happy birthday and I hope this one will be better for you.

The title came from a conversation that Markie Tilton, Roger Fruin, Dan Stover and myself had in the living room of Mary Sucate's home during her birthday/Halloween in Royal Oak, Michigan 48076.
I told everyone that I was Hipster Wheres Waldo for Halloween so I could be an asshole if some one said 'I found you.' Markie then asked me what a Hipster was. At the time, she also had never heard of Cedar Point.
