Gosh, take a little vacation away from a computer for a few days and big news breaks!
In Aaron's own words, from the Dear Leader messageboard:
So, there you go.
It's both sad and exciting - for Aaron, for his past and present bandmates, for his family, for us as fans - but so is life. So Aaron, here's to you and to all of the great memories we've had and hope to have once again in the coming years. May Belgium treat you as well as Boston has, and may your family find great happiness and success overseas. We will all miss you!
On a personal note: Aaron, thanks for everything. The fact that you happen to be in a band whose music I really enjoy is secondary to the fact that you are and always have been a really great and generous person. Though various conversations may not have seemed like much at the time, believe me - they counted. I'm proud to call you a friend.
Good luck, buddy.
In Aaron's own words, from the Dear Leader messageboard:
Several people have asked so I figured I'd let you all know that I am moving to Antwerp at the end of this month. I took a job at an Advertising Agency there and will try it out for a few years. I plan to take advantage of their socialized way of life like 6 wks vacation and subsidized childcare. I also intend on making my first self produced solo record there. Dear Leader will continue to play the occasional show and make a new record at some point in the future. Thanks to everyone who has supported me throughout the years and obviously this isn't goodbye just see you later.
