Memphis 2004

Night after night, as we gather together in Night Life

Each night brand new, filled with potential

Oldies, newbies, pervs, and fighters

You just never know and that’s the charm

Each person brings special qualities

From across the continent they come

Pennsylvania is the birthplace of an idea

Philly to be exact, the residence of our fearless leader

We share in each other lives, the good, the bad, and the downright nasty

We watch in awe as lives shift and change, coming together, ripping apart

With the loving guidance of the Mighty Moderator, we turn a new page every night

Writing the story of how we came to be, who we are, and where we go together

Some stay for years, some just a few days

Some get on cam and some don’t

Some use their mics too much and some too little

Some prefer to type – it’s whatever works best

We each have a different need, a different expectation

Say what you will about this eclectic group, we are friends

The dynamics are different, the medium new and savvy

But the friendships are well rooted and long lasting

Laughter, voices, chats, theme nights, contests, body parts, and toys

Music, events, politics, mic errors, the stuff of life

Fasten up your five-point harness, because you just never know where it’s gonna go

Hell that’s half the fun of it

For the good of the room

It’s not just a motto; it’s a way of thinking

It’s not just paying lip-service; here it means something

It’s not just idol chatter; it’s silly, serious, and joyful too

For the good of the room – it’s who we’ve become
