Dear Mike the Headless Chicken,

I regret to inform you I will be unable to attend your “Mike the Headless Chicken” festival in 2012. My friend Anthony Imperioli will also be unable to make it. We were looking forward to this festival and both believe if we’d been given more advanced notice we might have been able to attend.

My friend Anthony would like pointers on creating his own headless chicken. He’s got the time and the chickens, so if you have anything I should pass along I will be sure to do so. He keeps telling me his ax is as sharp as his wits and “if Fruita can have a headless chicken festival I can too!” Anthony isn’t always rational. I think it’s because he was dropped on his head as a baby, but he says that’s not why he has that flat spot at all!

If you could go ahead and let us know the dates for your 2014 festival that would be great. We’ll do out best to attend. We’re pretty booked until then though (I am sure you can understand). Chances are we’ll have to take a pass then too, but at least this way we can mark the dates on our calendar!

Sincerely,

Christopher L. Jorgensen
