Best email ever

Every time I remind someone of my great migration southward in October, I am read a list of reasons why I should stay in Minneapolis. This, by far, is the best persuasion tactic I have seen so far, from Stook:

I had a dream last night that you emailed me and you were like “whats going on in the cities?....all my favourite tc bands are taking turns being on magazine covers!!!!!”

And I was like “yeah, its crazy… everybody got signed, got rich, and is winning grammys”

And you were like “damn stook! I should have never moved to chi-town” and I said “yeah no shit! Did you hear about mason Jennings?” and you were like “what?” and I said “they let him into the rock hall of fame 20 years early” and you said, “really?” and I was like “ hell yeah!!! he’s flying all twin cities based journalists and bloggers to new york for the party, and he’s going to play a Lakeville style intimate acoustic show on the plane.. AND they get to eat all the candy they want on the way there” and you were like “shit, I should have never moved” and I was like “how is Chicago anyway” and you were like “it sucks, its not even windy anymore”

Stook!

Hummmm... While I do see the humor in that email, I of course have to take issue with the concept of Chi-town sucking. As-if!

Plus, who needs free candy on a plane, our streets on made of candy! :-)

chicago fucking rules, and if i were you and had a chance to get out of this vaguely artistic hickville, i would do it in a second.

Who is this wise Stook? He has the right idea!
