Nikki will be at Hanson Concert Saturday

Flying On a Musical Note

I wrote them a letter… a fan letter to be exact. It took quite some time to figure out how to write something that was short, concise, flattering without blabbering on, yet mature and respectable. I even called my dad a couple of times to have him proof read it, and then proof read it again. I’ve written many people in the past. When I like a director or a writer I generally write to them, letting them know. The only difference is that usually happens either right after or right before a meeting/audition has been set up. My letter to Hanson was nothing more than a fan letter. I am not a musician, so I couldn’t relate on that level, all I could do was tell them how much I appreciated their music, and hope one day they would read it. I waited and I waited for a reply. In fact I even tried tracking the letter through my agency (we are at the same agency) to see if they had received it. After four months, I got a response! I was over the moon! Not only did they write back to me, I was also invited to a show! Due to my relatively hectic schedule, it was difficult trying to figure out where and how this would happen, but as the saying goes, where there’s a will there’s a way. I spent hours on a genius website called tourtracker.com, to find out where they were playing. Unfortunately, they are only moving further and further away from me. So the story ends with this. On Saturday I am flying all the way across the country to Virginia, to see Hanson play, and I can’t wait!
