Dear Acoustic Guitar Player/singer at Metropolitan...
You’re the pits. Ever single night I hear this shit and it’s shockingly bad. Seriously, I’m in awe at how much you suck. Dave Chappelle did that thing about how white people love the acoustic guitar and I always thought he was pretty right on, but you prove that not all acoustic guitar playing singer song writers were created equal. You’re the worst!!!! I am about to pull...

Dear Tailor,
You were once my favorite bar and restaurant. I used to salivate just thinking about all of your parts, but now I think the love is gone. I used to love you and your butterscotch pork belly and your smoked coke and bourbon. Not to mention your fabulous staff and great music choices. But now, the feelings have died.
