Adult Fan Club

When you were a teenager did you ever write a letter to your TV star or musical heart throb?  I did.  What was his name....Tommy?  He was the guy that played on that show with the kid who had Downe's Syndrome.  The theme song for the show was "ob-la-dee ob-la-dah, life goes on, oh!  la la la la life goes on."  Oh right, that was the name of the show - Life Goes On.  Anyway, doesn't matter.  So I wrote a letter to this Tommy guy - it was the one and only "fan club" letter I've ever written, which is fairly incredible when you consider that I was such a big fan of New Kids on the Block and had such a huge crush on Jordan.  To my surprise, I got a response to this ridiculous little letter I wrote.  It was pretty standard and lame - I had been hoping for a handwritten response telling me how unique my letter was and how mature my writing - but instead I got a stupid sticker or something.  Kind of like that scene from A Christmas Story where Ralph gets his special decoder ring and, anti-climatically, is told to drink more Ovaltine. 

As a self-respecting adult, I don't write "fan club" letters to heartthrobs or admirees (although I did want to write a letter to Kevin Spacey quite recently after watching his performance as Richard in Shakespeare's Richard III at the Old Vic in London - it was such a moving play and his passion was so infectious I almost felt it was my duty, as one artist to another,to let him know what an amazing job he did.  It's a good thing I possess a certain laziness, which I'm sure saved me a bit of face - not to mention prevented me from wasting my time.  What would I do with a sticker of Kevin Spacey, anyway?), but I did recently blog about another artist I admire - Dolan Geiman.  And guess what?  He commented on my blog.  How cool is that?!  It was a quick one-liner, but I tell you what - it made my face light when I read it.  Just to think - what I write DOES makes its way into the ethos.  Fabulous!
