Dear Boys Night Out,

     Hey guys haven't heard from you since 2007.  Just wanted to start by saying that.  Because it was four years ago, and frankly, I need something new.  But honestly, I want to be clear, I really enjoyed everything you guys put out.  I’m sure my own opinion doesn’t matter, but I just wanted to go, off the record, and say that you guys are just spectacular and I’m eager to see what else you’ll pull off.  All your older material is still in rotation guys! Just saying...but I digress...

     Having gotten that out of the way, I think the most important thing I want to tell you gentlemen about is the experience I’m having right now on iTunes.  Having gotten to the point that I’ve almost nearly exhausted my Boys Night Out discography (I’m sure I’ll be ready to indulge again soon, though), I was on iTunes searching for the closest thing to your band (besides Belvedere, which I’ve definitely exhausted by now).

     Now, I know that human beings do some really messed up things.  Have you seen Blood Diamond?  Let’s not even talk about it.  And we all know there are a lot of terrible things out there, like cholera and the Ebola virus.  I also recently discovered an illness called cyclic vomiting syndrome, which is an awful disease. "Episodes of cyclic vomiting syndrome including severe vomiting, nausea and gagging usually begin at night or first thing in the morning and may include barfing as often as six to 12 times an hour. Episodes usually last anywhere from 1 to 5 days, though  they can last for up to 10 days."  (http://www.body-philosophy.net/10_Most_Disgusting_Diseases_Infections_Syndromes)  I almost acquired this disease when I saw the bands that were being suggested to me from iTunes to suppress my Boys Night Out withdrawal symptoms.  A band called A Thorn for Every Heart was there.  Kay.  Emanuel?  Greeley Estates?  THE STARTING LINE?!  It's not okay.  That wasn't a My Chemical Romance reference.  Come on, fellas, you know I would never...but again, I digress.

A Thorn for Every Heart

     Now that I’ve hovered over my toilet bowl drooling for the past 15 minutes, I basically wanted to write this letter to apologize on behalf of humanity.  I am very seldom willing to represent humans as a whole, but I think we owe you guys.  I’m really sorry about that.  There are people who think you deserve more than to be lumped in with the above stated plus more.  We all hope you can find it in your hearts to forgive us.

     And whenever you want to put something out, seriously, I’m all ears.  Don’t even sweat it, dudes; I know other people want some too.  I love you so much and I can't wait to hang out someday.  XOXO

Yours truly,
220bpm
