Sure, it was the middle of the week, but that wasn't going to stop someone like Russell from having a good night and partying a little bit. The spirit of Old Hollywood was alive and well, growing more and more into a party town than what it once was. Russell had decided to take on that partying spirit and invited anyone willing to go to Rolo's for fun. He was one of the first to step on stage, the biggest, liveliest smile imaginable on his face.
"I wrote this song for a lot of people," he explained while the Hooligans prepared their instruments behind him, "For the people I love and for the city I love. I know that we all eventually fall onto hard times, and that we've all had to go through something we didn't wanna go through.. And I know this city has been through the worst of it. So from the bottom of my heart, this song goes out to everyone."

"When darkness faaaalls
And surroooooounds yooooooou..
Wheeeen yoooou faall dooooown
When you're scaaaaared
And you're looooooost
Beeeeeeeeeee braaaaaaaaaaaaaaaavvee
Iii'm coooming to hoooooooold yooou noooooooow
When aaall your streeength has gooone
And you feel wrooong
Like your life has slipped awaaaay

[[No matter what anyone says about what we do, no matter what anyone thinks about these stories, no matter what anyone feels towards our methods or creativity—pain is pain. Loss is loss. Anton Yelchin inspired me two years ago. I was a kid, a young writer. In some ways, I’m still that kid, much like Russell is. That’s something in common I share with my character. I remember two years ago on June 4th 2014, I made Russell’s account. He was brand new, full of life and happiness. He was my new baby and I wanted to protect him. I wanted to shelter him from the pain of the world I put him in. Anton inspired so much in Russell. He was this actor I admired from Star Trek, as Chekov. So I chose him out of so much excitement. I kept his account secret for maybe a few weeks after making him, resting on his profile when I wanted to be happy. He gave me a light in the darkness. I feel deep, genuine loss now that Anton has passed. I’m truly devastated. It’s so unfair that an intelligent, humble and endlessly kind man who inspired—apparently—everyone who came into contact with him had to go so soon, so young. I knew that this day would come, but not like this. I know it may appear strange that writers would take actors or singers or bands and write with them, but it’s a source of inspiration. It’s taking the medium of writing from our imagination and fusing it with real life ideas to make it feel.. multi-dimensional I suppose. I’ve had to spend a lot of time coping, and at least I’m not alone. My goal.. Is to continue writing for Russell. This character I have loved for two years, and who I know I will love for the rest of my life. This piece of me that is the purest, sweetest part of me. Who inspires me, even. Who makes me love life a little more, who gives me energy and motivation to keep going. I hope in some way this is honoring the man that was Anton. The man who impacted so many lives in the real world. --D.R.]]
