Punkzilla Chapter 3 Summary

March 4, 2008

  • Jamie apologizes for ending his last letter to P abruptly; he wants to tell him a little more about Branson.
  • So here's the deal: Jamie snooped in Branson's wallet and found his birth certificate. His real name is Evan Branson—no middle name, which Jamie thinks is weird—and he was born in Waldo, Ohio, even though he tells everyone he's from Philly.
  • Fat Larkin thinks Branson's just another lost white kid from Seattle, and jokes that Branson probably has a poster of the Space Needle over his bed.
  • Once Jamie and Branson were walking past the Portland Center Stage theater, and Branson walked up and slapped a rich guy in the face just to do it. Branson felt the guy needed to be taught a life lesson.
  • When Branson said goodbye to Jamie at the Greyhound station, Jamie wanted to call him Evan as a term of endearment, but they were both sick from meth, so it didn't seem like a good time.
  • Branson told Jamie to call when he got to Memphis, but Branson doesn't have a phone, so Jamie thinks that's a little weird. He knows they've probably seen each other for the last time.
  • He ends the letter to P saying he feels like he's going to be sick.
