About a year and a half ago, I made a risky request; an exorbitant and, frankly, completely egotistical request. I asked Dave Grohl to shotgun a beer with me for my birthday. Perhaps the greatest day of my life, I can now happily say I peaked at 25. 

I know the motto is "new year, new decade", but I'm just as ballsy today than I've ever been. It’s time for me to make an equally crazy and pompous request. So here goes.

Dear Foo Fighters, I would like to help you complete a promise you set out to accomplish a few years ago. Dave, you said in a 2011 concert that you’ll play the Electric Factory (now renamed Franklin Music Hall) if the audience sang “Wheels” loud enough. It looks like the crowd did, so now, it’s your turn to (hopefully) fulfill your side of the deal.

The reason I’m asking for this is because I think this can help out the both of us. You, in accomplishing something you set out to do almost a decade ago and me, in finally being taken seriously in a career I want to create for myself. My dream has always been to work in the music field. However, I’m not musically inclined or connected and haven’t “proven” myself enough to get a job in the industry. I studied journalism and booked comedy acts for a program during my time in college—I have faith in myself, I know I can handle something of this magnitude. I’m not that good at selling myself on paper, but I’m driven, courageous and have nothing to lose, so why not take a chance on me?

I can feel it in my soul that between you and I, and the great city of Philadelphia, we can help accomplish this crazy task. So now the question is: will you accept?

My resume has my contact information blocked out, for obvious internet-harassing reasons. But I'm confident, if this reaches the right hands, we'll find each other sharing another beer and coming up with a plan on how to make this happen.
