It's time to send John Deer a Dear John.
Dear Chicago,
I miss you. I will be visiting asap so I do not go insane on the east coast. I promise not to come back wearing camo shorts, white belts, and listening to Terror. Straight edge kids will probably beat me up, but if it happens, it happens. Neal and I have been craiglisting apartments in your Lakeviewish area of town and things look good. If only we can find a basement. I had terrible timing in leaving. Things were just starting to be enjoyable again.
Dear Cleveland,
Your collection of awesome people far exceedes your collection of burnouts. I don't mind hanging out with a few burnouts in exchange for awesome people. I will visit you over the summer. Especially because of this : Friday July 15 the Subhumans\Leftover Crack\From Ashes Rise at the Grog Shop. That place is getting torn down. Also, soon some Chicago friends will be in Cleveland for awhile. Some longer then others.
Dear Sterling Virginia, Germantown Maryland (which has very few Germans), and DC in general,
You better not treat me like shit.
with love,
Jon
