So, what’s a poor girl in love to do? Our amazingly talented and lovely Nichole, in Customer Service here at Blue Q, asked…and then received:
Dear EQX Master,
I am writing to you out of desperation and a last ditch effort to attain Rusted Root tickets for Valentine’s Day. I know you are giving away the tickets in the morning if you win the battle of the eq sexes, but I have not been successful enough to get on and play. If you have a few moments, I would truly appreciate you reading my story and letting me know if there are any tickets out in the universe that I may purchase at a fair price. I am not asking for a handout, just hear me out……………
I listen to EQX in the morning on my long, boring commute to work and enjoy the music and listening to Jeff. Thanks for being so great and making my drive more enjoyable. Enough kissing up. I heard it announced early this week that Rusted Root was playing at the Snow Barn on V-day and was thrilled!
Now, I am a mother of a 16 month old boy and am also expecting another baby, work fulltime, and juggle a busy schedule as most people these days do…. BUT, I must find a way to get a sitter, scrape up the money and energy for a night out with my wonderful husband! He is a fantastic guy and this would be a great thing for him and for us. I arranged a sitter, checked the bank account and went online to get tickets to my dismay they were all sold out! No, this can’t be!!!!
You see, one of our 1st dates was seeing a Rusted Root concert about 8 years ago and to surprise him with concert tickets and a night out would be the perfect Valentine’s Day situation. We don’t’ get out too much lately but I must find a way to make this work. We both love Rusted Root so much that in the delivery room while I was in hard labor, my husband put on a Rusted Root CD as encouragement and inspiration for me. (sorry if that is TMI, but I had to through that in there)
Another thing that is that at work we have been listening to Rusted Root Radio on Sonos System (put on by another employee) and it seems yet another sign pointing to how much we need to go to this show. The songs bring back wonderful memories for me and thought it couldn’t hurt to write to you. I tried online to buy tix, I called the Snow Barn and am running out of options. If there is anything you can do to help me out I would be eternally grateful!
Thanks for your time. And on a side note, I work for a really cool company called Blue Q and would be happy to send bribes to you for helping me.
Nichole
(So, guess what? Nichole got 2 free tickets. From Nichole: (The amazingly thoughtful) manager of the nightclub, the Snow Barn at Mount Snow called and told me that he is putting Bryan and my name on the guest list for the show and he is not charging us for them!
Email from the Manager: Nichole, just wanted to give you an email confirmation of my valentines present to you and your husband…..Your name will be on the guest list for Rusted Root at the snowbarn on Sunday, February 14th….I’ll see you at the show!)
