Regarding my Impending Visit...

I received this from one of my favorite people the other day, who is coming to visit nyc while I'm away and is the only reason I would wish to be there in February anyways. And because this email was so awesome, I had to post it (also, you are mentioned in it!)

Dear Bon,

Your life as a rogue, European- traveling artist (or dare i say artisan?) is ridiculous. Just plain ridiculous. Ireland? France? I have no idea how to respond, but you'd best send me a postcard or two....
23 days? Ah, the life. Of course I will have to make arrangements to return at a more convenient time for you. Because Sunday brunch and magnolia cupcakes are best enjoyed avec vous. Are you practicing your French yet?

Love you lots! Have fun and tell Susannah hello!

Dear Kemper,
I LOVED your email. rogue European traveling artisan? yes, please! never before have I felt so inherently cool being broke and unemployed! I have been trying to practice my french, ma cherie, mais il n'est pas facile! that's probably not even correct. at best, I have been trying to decifer the France-Amerique newspaper that the Alliance Francais sends me... attempting to read it on the subway is semi-useful but mostly just makes me look more interesting. but, please do come back soon and manger avec moi! have a lovely time in nyc :) and I'll eat a croissant in your honor!

loves, Bon
