The Too Cool Clubby BWKS ’12

Hey Gang! Here’s the rundown: my house, 7:30pm, the first meeting of the Too Cool Club. My mom will cook up some mozzarella sticks and we can talk all things cool. Sixth grade power!
Long live the TOO KOOL KLUB!!!!

Hey Guys! I’m really sorry but I’m going to be late because I’m in Paris now, just finishing up some business. I should be stateside tonight around 9:30 though and I can make it to Mikey’s house by 10. Again, I’m terribly sorry about all of this.
Hope to see you tonight,

I forgot to mention in school that I had an orthodontist appointment this afternoon. Don’t worry, he’s a cool orthodontist—I’ve got pictures of the fish tank in the waiting room to prove it! Also, with the permission of the receptionist, I stole a Time for Kids from the rack for us to check out! Anyways, if Howie can’t make 7:30, should we do 8? TOO QOOL QLUB FOREVER!

Hey, I’m really sorry you guys, but as I mentioned in my last email, I won’t be back in the US until 9:30 and the earliest I could get to Mikey’s would be 10. I know this isn’t ideal and I should have said something sooner—I never expected the French to take their initial offer off the table and for negotiations to run this long. I feel terrible about making you guys wait.
-Howie

Well, mom says the latest people can be over is 9:30, so why not everyone come over at 9? Also, I got some nice plastic cups for the food-colored seltzer, so even if we drop them, they won’t break! Woah!
-Mikey

9 it is, then. Howie?
-Jimmy

Sorry! I don’t know how many other ways I can say this, but you guys know I’d be there if I could. It’s just that it’s literally a physical impossibility at this point. I scheduled the negotiations for this weekend because I was already going to be in France for a prior engagement and I wanted to be efficient. If I could do it all over again, I would. A hundred times out of a hundred, I swear.
-Howie

Jimmy, get over here before the mozzarella sticks get cold!
-Mikey

I’m so sorry!
