Dear John,

Hi, My name is Ciara. The girl who you met at The Meow Meow show. Your 2nd concert here in Portland with Brand New, Rufio, and Thirty3. I am the one who knows your parent's and the one who you let in for free because I didn't get tickets in time for your show with the used.

I want to say how proud I am of you for doing what you think is best for you and your situation with the band. I understand i do not know the full extent so I will not judge you on the rumors that I have heard.

But I also want to say that Taking Back Sunday will probably go down hill from now. It was You who started the band, you played guitar in the band, you sang and you also played key boards. I want to say I have looked up to you for so long and now you are no longer in the band that has saved my life.

You were the first band that I could listen to, and if people made fun of me, I didn't care. It wasn't the backstreet boys who just sang and didn't play instruments. you aren't good charlotte some stupid pop punk band, and you weren't some band like rancid that just keeps going down hill. You were a differen't kind of band. And though you... well not YOU... but TBS still is a differen't kind of band who I respect very much, you are not the same Band that i have loved, SINCE YOU LEFT.

I love you John, and I will continue to be a fan of YOU because you are just amazing to me. You really are my idol and I am probably your biggest fan. I just wish that you would reconsider your friend ship with the band and you meaningness ot the band and come play guitar with them one last time on july 6th for warped tour here in OREGON. i will be selling pizza at Wiz's and i wanted to bring you a big stuffed pizza for free.

I love you and i respect you. just had to say something. I have to speak my mind sometimes... it's a curse ya know?! thanks for being so mature and great.

-Ciara Grande, (16oz) your biggest fan!!!
