Dear Mr. Matthews,

I would absolutely LOVE to see your show at the Gorge over Labor Day weekend! I have been a huge fan of yours ever since I fell in love with your music during college. CRASH INTO ME became my favorite song (after slow dancing to it with a boy I should have never had a crush on, but the song stayed one my favorites anyway....). I saw your face everyday when I lived in my college apartment...thanks Em for letting me hang my 4 ft Dave poster on our livingroom wall!

I am very sad to report I will not be at your concert. Ticket prices have doubled in the past two years, and currently I am not in a position to make the big purchase. Maybe I'll catch you at next year's concert. Or better yet, now that we live in the same town, maybe I will run into you at Bartell Drugs or Murphy's Pub. You can buy me a beer or serenade me with my favorite song.

Sincerely,
K
