I haven't posted to this list for a long time, but don't you think maybe everyone could do something like this? Of course, I feel that Scott's story is amazing, and would definitely be the high point of such an endeavor, but don't we all have some sort of story of how this band has affected our lives? Kind of like the birthday book that someone was trying to put together for Sting a year or two ago.

One of my favorite parts of the webcast is when Stewart remarked about how some of those people were there 27 years ago. I think Sting said something about their kids. I know there are a couple of us on this list who are in our mid-twenties. We're obviously too young to have seen the band at their peak, but got into them posthumously (so to speak). I know for me, this concert isn't going to be just about seeing the Police, but also a trip with my Dad, who got me started on the band, and brother as we're all three giant Police fans.

Again, I feel remise even writing this, because it feels like I'm trying to steal/piggyback off of Scott's story, but as someone said in an earlier there are probably about 600 of us on this list. We all have our own stories. Even if we could only get Scott's story to the band, I think it would be interesting to read everyone's story of how this band has affected us.

The other Ross

Scott,

If you have a fairly local radio station that is co-presenting or heavily promoting the Police tour I suggest you send your story to them. Very often radio stations can accomplish what we just can't/or have access to people we don't. Just a suggestion, but I know it can work, I've heard it.
