After Impressionable Youth disbanded, Paige started her own group called Rinse and Repeat. Between that, her schoolwork and multiple jobs, she stayed pretty busy and I rarely saw her. When I did run into her she told me she’d found out she had just enough credits to graduate in December, and planned to move back to Dallas right afterward. It was sort of a shame, really, because I’d gotten to like her a lot, and would miss her. I still didn’t know for sure if she’d ever stabbed anyone. The Grubby Mitts’ singer recovered from her illness but dropped out of the band to join a new one. Lia replaced her indefinitely. The Mitts, and all the other local bands, played wherever they could get a gig. I still hadn’t been by Scout’s but I knew people who had and they’d all told me it was “okay,” but no Lynch’s. Lia kept in touch with Roy and told me he was doing alright. She was trying to convince him to open another venue somewhere. She told him her dad could hook him up with investors and financial advisors, and avail him of Elyse’s expertise.
