    really, if anyone hears from Wylie let me know. Last I heard from him he had been in the hospital due to a mental breakdown I think. He said he was in a deep depression and Now I have basically been trying to get a hold of him ever since. his phone does not work, i tried Facebook. nothing.

    sincerely,

  4. Update on Wylie, jumped out of my girlfriends car when I saw him by the Minneapolis Institute of art. We said whats up and he was in a hurry, I told him to contact me but I haven't heard from him and it's been like a month. Wish I would have forced him my number or something, but it was a very brief interaction. Again, if someone heres from him please let me know.
