Hunter, Alisa, and I have been posting from a front table at that hoary blogger watering hole, Schiller's, and some of us have been drinking — I won't tell you who. What I can say is that it's been a great two months, in large part because I entered a site left in such great shape by its current editor-at-large, and one with such dedicated and witty writers and contributors installed.
What will I miss? I'll miss the fine brick ceiling of the Gawker HQ, and I'll miss a good majority of the people working underneath. I'll also miss working on a site that provided a needy world with so many pertinent details about strippers, needlessly cute animals, drugs, and restaurants.
I wish Curbed lots of luck with their newly envisioned site — I think I speak for all of us when I say I'm looking forward to seeing exactly what that is. I also wish we could be working together longer, but it's not going to happen with my rent being what it is. Job offers, whether in earnest or not, will be entertained as they never have before.

Aww, you sweet prickly little feller. keep on truckin.
awww - best closing post ever.
A gracious goodbye from an editor who's not nearly mean-spirited enough to be a Gawker. Best of luck, John! Too bad about Gridskipper. I'm glad I got to enjoy it when it was great, thanks to Chris and to you. I hope the new overlords don't totally ruin it, but I suspect they will.
