You once told me that everything is Tucson. I'm cool with this. Hell, I see it everyday: The descriptions you give of your fair city, you even saw Tucson in Providence when you came here.
However, it's now come to my attention that Providence is also everywhere. Only instead of sand and javelinas, we have that nature stuff you said we had too much of, and hipsters. Even when I was in Clearwater last, visiting the folks, I saw both Providence AND Tucson at the same time. I wasn't quite sure what to think at first. I mean, maybe Providence is just Tucson, unless Tucson is also Providence. They're still pretty damn different cities with their own kind of crazy, ours is just a far more ancient crazy than yours. That doesn't necessarily make us superior, it just gives a different feel. You know, like that feeling your stomach is always getting pulled by a different gravity than the rest of your organs. A sickening heaviness that ties you to the ground you're walking on, in case you decide to fly away.
I've been here for 10 years now, Roger. Ten years. A decade of madness in the land of Lovecraft, mafioso, and Ivy Leaguers. I always say I hate it too, but I think somewhere deep that, that ancient crazy is keeping me grounded til it decides to let me go.
Then there's the problem of Portland...

We're up to our asses in hipsters now, too. The three cities are an illusion. There is only Tucson.
He said we had too much nature too, but I think the park might just be a fluke due to the runoff from the sewage treatment plant.
We don't have hipsters yet, but we have skaters. He said they're proto-hipsters.

No, I looked everywhere. You're fucking CRAWLING with nature.
Hipsters in Tucson?
Please tell me they're like the goths I saw in Vermont, because their hiking boots made their outfits.

Only as much as is needed for our MIGHTY TEXAS COCKROACHES.

No. They are regulation hipsters. I blame the university for attracting them.
