Dear Barrett,

I'm thinking about tomorrow and I know it will be great. I want to tell you how proud I am of you. I hope it will be recorded for YouTube or tv or radio or something.

Please say hello to John Penley for me. He offered me to stay at his place but I told him it would cost too much to get there and he said I could get the Chinatown bus b/c it's only $30. But I don't think it crosses the Atlantic. I think he thinks I'm American. It was terribly sweet of him and I might take him up on his offer if I get to NY.

It's strange but when you're not in Texas I miss you more. It's not like I live in Texas obviously, but my heart is there.

I love you so much.
