The City Veins

Second to revealing what search terms people have used to get to your site (we have two hits for people searching for “Delusional Musician”), copying emails is probably the lowest form of blogging. That said, we want to show you how this band works and interacts, and our emails back and forth are a large part of it.

Let me set the scene. I am sort of the editor for this blog. I send out emails trying to get the others to post, and sometimes forward articles and ideas to them. My goal is one post a day, and I have clearly failed on that front. Spencer is good about posting, and can even do it himself! Aaron emails me the text of his posts, and I format it and usually add a picture. Well, Aaron has been promising me a post for about a week now. Yesterday, I sent him an email pointing out that he was not writing:

1. Your dissertation
2. Your thesis
3. A final for school
4. An essay

Basically, just emphasizing that he was taking posting too seriously. He responded with:

However, you are:

1) A Jerk
2) A big Jerk
3) A jerk who thinks he’s so big and tough just because he started boxing
4) A jerk who can’t even box professionally at a time in which the talent pool has been weakened by MME and other forms of fighting.
5) A jerk who makes lists to prove points, adding scathing emphasis to what would otherwise be benign claims.

So why I am memorializing this on the blog? Well, I am pretty sure that this is the best writing that Aaron has done in the last 3-4 months.
