Village Idiot

Dear French Kicks,
I'm a youthful gal who's in love with a certain rock 'n' roll band situated in the lovely East Village. 
Now, I see a member of saidband every now and again while walking home, and I know that if I 
could just get myself an introduction, we could all be life long friends.Any ideas on how to get that 
oh so important introduction? Thanks.
Josh: What I'd say is start with the drummer or the bass player. David Byrne is a tough nut to crack, but the rest of the Talking Heads may be more approachable.

Lawrence: Listen Sidewinder. Dudes love chicks...but they love money more. I suggest buying a lot of expensive jewlery and clothes-Impress him with your "wealth" of character.

Matt: Dear Sidewalker, the only way to impress guys in bands is with a scheme that is equal parts "zany" and "hare-brained." Next time you see them pretend that you are visiting from Australia and that you "no English good". As you overcome cultural barriers you might just be suprised to find that you have much in common. G'day and good luck, Mate.

Nick (via Telephone): These village people are all the same, particularly the 'rock' ones. Like infants, they can only see a few inches in front of their own face, generally. I'm afraid you'll have to just go to their show and, you know, drop the soap.
