Horrible story. I wish it had gotten more press; I wouldn't have known about it if you hadn't posted the link.

[dylanmonster]

Me neither.
Thanks for being the only person to reply to my email about hanging out last week.
Hope you're doing well

[dylanmonster]

Pretty Unbelieveable it didn't get more press.
Messed up to the max.

J said something about getting together on Friday night or something.
I just sent an email off to my supervisor making sure I can have the entire weekend of the flea off- as it's move in weekend and stuff.
But let's meet up over the course of the weekend and we can catch up and talk about wedding stuff and the like...I'll keep you updated about the time I have off.

Irony is everywhere.
