[PW] Reply #2 RE: Dixie Chicks address

[Franco, Adrienne]

I found information below at Dixie Chicks Frequently Asked Questions
(for               site at:
http://dixiechicksfaq.homestead.com/files/chicks.htm#_1.__Where 
Note main page for this site is at:
http://dixiechicksfaq.homestead.com/files/index.htm   
Interestingly enough, the person who maintains this site is a soldier
currently serving in Iraq.  Note his message about controversy on main
page.


"1.  Where Can I write to the Chicks?
The Dixie Chicks have very recently changed management.  I do not yet
have a new address for fan mail.  Once one is available, I will post it
here immediately.

Both the old Nashville P.O. box address for "Senior Management" and the
Beverly Hills address for "The Firm" are no longer good.  And of course,
the Dallas addresses found in the Wide Open Spaces liner notes and some
old fan club materials have been shut down for years.  Mail sent to any
of those addresses will be returned to you.

Writing to or calling the Chicks or their management is not likely to
increase your chances of meeting them.  In fact, they will probably
never see it.

If you believe that you are the first person to write to them and tell
them that you are their "biggest fan," and that they have changed your
life, you are kidding yourself.  They get thousands of fan letters per
week, and they all sound alike.  So if you still can't resist the urge
to write to them, at least strive for a little originality.
Unfortunately, they will probably never see it.  But if by some slim
chance they do, you are much more likely to be remembered if you have
something unique to say.

The Dixie Chicks do not answer their fan mail.  They are only human, and
they simply do not have time to read or reply to thousands of letters
per week.  Not even mail from their "biggest fan."   But their office
personnel will sometimes send photographs to fans that request them.
Your best chance of a reply is if you include a stamped and
self-addressed 8x10 envelope with your request"

My patron is looking for an address to write to the Dixie Chicks. He's
already tried 550 Madison Ave. in NY (found in Current Biography), as
well as 555 Madison Ave. (online), but both were returned. We understand
they might not want mail because of the controversy surrounding them,
but he actually want to write to express his support. Any Chicks fans
out there who might have an address that works?

Thanks!
