The Cloud Room

I met first Jonathan well over a decade ago when he was a student at UC Santa Cruz. I was friends with his roommates Gabe (now of Yellow Swans) and Courtney (who I had quite a crush on but never got anywhere with). I remember one morning eating breakfast with Jonathan and him telling me that I was welcome in his home anytime. He does not recall saying that to me, but that is neither here nor there. It has always been true, as far as I know.

Jonathan moved to New York maybe a week or so before I did. I ran into him at The Cooler, although for the life of me I cannot recall what show it was. We became fast friends. We went to see a lot of movies together for some reason.

One night I was informed that the girl I was seeing was sleeping with someone else. I was informed of this fact at Welcome To The Johnson's (with him present!) and I wasn't terribly thrilled about it. I wasn't quite sure what to do after they left so I called Jonathan up. He invited me over and listened to me go on and on about my heartache pretty much all night.

Jonathan and I haven't hung out too much lately, I think he is busy touring weird places and I am married so we don't have as much free time as we used to. It meant a lot to me that he was there for me that night, it was a bit of a rough one.

I think at some point he started telling people his name is J but I've known him for far too long to buy into it.
