Sara: Hey, girls!
Ginny: Hey, Sara!
Jan: Hi, Sara!
Sara: What's up?
Ginny: Nothing much! Jan and I were just talking about how cool it would be to have a Monkees Convention.
Jan: Yeah, a convention hall full of Monkees fans. That would be a laugh. LOL! We'd be Monkee-walking all over the city.
Sara: That's brilliant! What a great idea! Tee hee!
Ginny: LOL! Of course good luck getting all four of the Monkees to agree to it. That would take a miracle.
Sara: Hey, miracles can happen!
Ginny: Well even if we could get one Monkee, I'd be happy!
Sara: I'm sure at least one would come if he thought all the fans would be there.
Jan: It's a great idea girls. So, when will it be? LOL
Ginny: How about this time next year? LOL
Sara: That's perfect! We can even have it here in Kansas. Right in the middle of the USA!
Ginny: Not bad! What do you think, Jan? *wink*
Jan: Are you serious? It's a great idea, but will we ever pull it off? Who would come? Where would it be? Who's gonna spread the word?
Ginny: Cool it, Jan! One question at a time. I know it seems like a long shot, but haven't you always dreamed of something like this?
Jan: Um yeah...I guess so.
Sara: I can rent a big convention hall, we can inform every Monkees group that we can once it's all confirmed. I work in the media, so we can have radio announcements and television coverage.
Jan: You forgot something.
Sara: What's that?
Jan: Convincing a Monkee to come to a convention that's been organized by three fans.
Sara: Oh!
Ginny: Each one of the Monkees has an address where you can contact them and book them for an appearance. We'll just use that route.
Jan: One problem though.
Ginny: What?
Jan: We haven't got that kind of money!
Ginny: *frown* You're right!
Sara: Who needs money?
Jan: Us!
Ginny: Us!
Sara: Do you have any idea how many Monkee fans there are out there who'd come to something like this? We ask for donations. Maybe do some fundraisers. I bet if every Monkee fan we knew donated $10, we'd be able to pull this off.
Jan: How do we make it so it doesn't look like a scam? We aren't officially associated with anything that has to do with the Monkees.
Ginny: I guess we would need some sort of sponsor.
Sara: But who? Any ideas?
Ginny: Well....this may seem far-fetched, but...how about Rhino?
Sara: Are you kidding me????
Jan: That's a joke, right?
Ginny: They own the Monkees. Wouldn't they be interested in any endeavor that would increase sales?
Sara: Well you do have a point. Good luck getting a reply though. They're a big company.
Jan: Honestly, I can't think of any other avenue *sighs*. Sara is right about Rhino though. We just have to sound as official and as important as we possibly can. Two things which I'm not very good at.
Ginny: I think if one of us writes a letter, and then we tell all our Monkee friends to back us up with a similar request, we might just get them interested.
Sara: Keep talkin' babe! It's sounding good.
Jan: So who's going to write the letter?
Ginny: Thanks for volunteering, Jan! *grin*
Sara: Sure is good of you! *grins also*
Jan: Gee, thanks alot!
Ginny: Now, is that sarcasm I hear?
Sara: Well, ladies, it looks like we've got some work ahead of us. Let's get this party started!
