Hey Rob, Brandon turned me onto Chuck Klosterman a couple of years ago, I read his first 3 books and he became my favorite author, just because of his relatibilty, like you said, he seems like someone you would want to hang out with. We would have the same discussions about topics in the books ( the Tori Paradox from Saved by the Bell, etc.) . He had told me he had gotten his new book, but I wasn't sure if he had read it, I know it is his first fiction piece, so I was curious on how it read. Brandon was just so much fun to share things with, we had favorite shows, movies and bands (non-death metal bands) and we would always relive shit that we did or happened to us. I have never met you, but Brandon would always talk about you and of coarse Brett too, I have known Brett for a long time. I have read some of your stories you posted on the website and I feel the same way as you, I just miss him so much. May we find the humor in the fact two close friends of Brandon's, one from each of his bizarro worlds are having a discussion and I think we both know he would be completely awkward by all of this. I look forward to sharing more stories with you and take care of yourself.
