Dear Nine Days,
At some point on our tour together earlier this millennium, we co-headlined a show in NYC. This was on or around the day your song “Girl Story” went to #1 in the US. Additionally, you are from somewhere near NYC, so this was in essence your “hometown show.”
You indicated to us that you had lots of friends and family in town, that you were celebrating your chart-topping success, and you asked if you could go last that night. However, it was our turn to go last, based on the alternating nights schedule.
We said “no.”
Additionally, we notified the club when you ran over your allotted set time, and they signaled you to wrap it up.
Following that, you kicked the door of our room backstage. We believe this was in reaction to our aforementioned acts.
Upon deeper reflection, we were “absolutely” wrong that night. We were petty, and while we did laugh a lot, we have come to realize it was a bad thing we did.
We would like to officially and publicly “apologize” for our actions that night, and look forward to gigging with you again at some point in the future. Right now we are working on a hot lead for a high school reunion in Dayton that has a modest budget, but they have requested we play “This Is The Story of a Backpack,” so there will be joint rehearsal required.
Sincerely,
Stroke 9
