This is a real festival it even happened in Canada http://www.riotfest.org/
The Riotfest in Texas was headlined by Rise Against(one of Rachel's favorite bands), the Descendents, and NOFX. There were about 8 to 10 thousand people in attendence and I want Rachel, the Myatts, and the New Church to be clear on this. Any chance I get at spreading my newsletter I will. This particular band Rise Against is dear to me because when Rachel abandoned me I wrote lead singer Tim Mcllrath a letter about how much I loved her and I even asked him to send her some things pertaining to their band. If she ever got a letter or tshirts or anything I dont really know but I do know that she hurt me so bad at the time I wrote this heartfelt letter which I pulled out of my email archives to share with all you.
For Helping Save My Life(the version you should read)
To: tim@riseagainst.com
I sent another version of this sorry but I made some mistakes in my nervousness and wanted to correct them.
Dear Tim,
My name is Byron Boone I am 35 years old I live in Arlington Texas I'm African American and I wanted to thank you personally for help save my life. I want to tell you my story and I didn't know the best way to reach you since you are probably busy with the new album coming out and all but I wanted to ask you a favor and I don't know if the band has time to read snail mail. If so I very much need to write a letter and I will even send it first class and overnight to you because it means that much to me, your band and the friend that I want to ask the favor for mean that much to me. Your bands songs "Amber Changing" and "Ready to Fall" saved my life. Back in August my mother suddenly fell ill and her immune system shut down she died on August 8th at 6pm. I was devastated and my dad and my brother were left with so much grief. My only saving grace was my girlfriend at the time Rachel who I went to see. You guys Rise Against are her favorite band in the world. She lives in Dawson Creek, British Columbia. Canada. I flew out to be with her 3 weeks later thinking that she would be supportive and a day after I got back she text me and broke up with me saying I had issues. She was supposed to be my best friend but she abandoned me because I was grieving and saying that I had issues and making fun of me for being sad made me want to die so i tried and I kept thinking about it. Its 5 months later I am stronger. I am still hurting and I still care for her. I don't think she understands that even normal people get depressed and the one thing I always admired about Rise Against is that you sing about being true to your friends, people, and the ideas you stand for. Even when she doubted herself and the things around her I never gave up on her. I am a grown man and killing myself was the last place I ever thought I would be at but when you have no support and everything around you crashes down the pain exceeds the means to cope with the pain and that is what I tried to explain to her. I needed friendship, love, and support and not people abandoning me. I have been involved in donating to Take Action and 1-800-Suicide and Hopeline since I was younger and I always try to help others even as I am in my own pain I watched others feel the same way because of financial woes lately and other things. I try to share with them my experience and get them to a place where they know they can get through it. I am asking you for this favor to please write my dear friend Rachel because I love her and I have been trying to mend our broken friendship ever since. I think if the singer from her favorite band would write to her and talk to her about integrity to friends, loyalty, and compassion and she knew that I cared enough to open myself to you to ask you to write her then maybe she might be open to making things right between us. I love this person so much Tim and she had done nothing but throw stones and belittle me and through it all I still love her and want to make peace with her. I will leave her address for physical mailing below. I know longer have her email but her name is Rachel Myatt and she doesn't do the whole social networking thing. She has youtube page called Nofaintresemblence but no videos at this time. I know you are a man of honor, integrity, and stand by your ideas and that is why I am writing to you. When you love someone so much you will humble yourself as much as you can without losing who you are and try to make things write in life. I wanted her to hear from her favorite band and maybe hearing from you about friendship will bring us both peace. One of the last cds we listened to before I came home to the U.S. in August was The Sufferer and The Witness and I feel that was something special that bonded us and that it can bring us back again so maybe the Endgame will be a true friendship restored. I will send you a snail mail version of this letter if you reply and you want to write her. I will pay for postage send you the letter and send you postage to send it to her. If you do so please put Rise Against/Tim Mcllrath or send with official Rise Against stationary if you have so that she wont think it is some trickery from me. If also I can pay you personally for a shirt or something to send to her I would appreciate that to. You are truly one of her favorite bands. Thank you for your time and I hope to hear back from you. Had I not been listening to your P.S.A from one of the Take Action cds and "Amber Changing" I may not be here right now. I know that helping others is something you dont take lightly. Thank you Tim and Rise Against.

That was from the heart it was close to two years ago and I still love Rachel but the fact that I would bare my soul to someone I didnt know and I even sent him this letter with a hand written one about our turmoiltous break up and how much I loved her. I want Rachel and her family to truly know the pain and damaged that was caused and I want Pastor Glenn to see the error in his treating me in such a way saying the things he did about my love for Rachel when he truly did not know the unkind, uncaring, and evil way she had treated me. Rachel was my best friend, I looked up to her and loved her as my sister in Christ.
The bottom line is this Rachel , her family, and all the Pastors and New Church people in the world could think this is all cute and fun and games but its not its serious. She spoke on my family, used the New Church teachings for evil, and broke the heart of someone who thought the world of her and tried to make me look sick, manipulative, and mental when it was she who lied. I have had nothing to hide. I have told things I have never told anyone over the net because I am no longer hiding.
Riotfest is about the Punk, Alternative, and Indie music community. We have an old saying especially in Punk Music. D.I.Y. Do it Yourself. So I did. No one is speaking on the evil in the New Church so I have created a Newsletter and a culture that will read up on false religion and apostacy. No one ever called Rachel out on the way she treats people I did and I refuse to apologize for putting her in her place. Plain and simple this is not a game. This was my life and dream she played with and whatever comes to her because of being selfish, evil, and lying oh well!!! I gave her and her family every chance to respond but now its too late. I have spread this like wildfire and Coleman Glenn this will affect you too as Pastor because it is all going to backlash on the Dawson Creek New Church. Rachel has had a choice for 2yrs now I have a choice to spread the word and put this out in the open and let people know how she and the New Church treat people. I still want peace with all of you but since none of you want that with me then I press on. My grassroots approach is going to put the New Church on the map in ways unimagined to Rachel, her family, and the Clergy. So Rachel will never forget how her lies, her betrayal, and her unkindness started all this because she was afraid to just be honest and to be loved..........
DLW 47 It is the essential of love not to love self, but to love others, and to be conjoined with others by love. It is the essential of love, moreover, to be loved by others, for thus conjunction is effected. The essence of all love consists in conjunction; this, in fact, is its life, which is called enjoyment, pleasantness, delight, sweetness, bliss, happiness and felicity. Love consists in this, that its own should be another's; to feel the joy of another as joy in oneself, that is loving. But to feel one's own joy in another and not the other's joy in oneself is not loving; for this is loving self, while the former is loving the neighbor. These two kinds of love are diametrically opposed to each other. Either, it is true, conjoins; and to love one's own, that is, oneself, in another does not seem to divide; but it does so effectually divide that so far as anyone has loved another in this manner, so far he afterwards hates him. For such conjunction is by its own action gradually loosened, and then, in like measure, love is turned to hate.
