Will Dave play for cake?
Will Dave play for cake?
That’s what Terry and Heather Short are hoping for. The two are set to open Short & Sweet Bakery in Waynesboro at 133 North Wayne Avenue in early May and are hoping to have the Dave Matthews Band play at the new store.
“Now, I realize that this request may sound a bit crazy, and of course I don’t really have any moo-laa per-se that I could pay you with,“ Heather Short wrote in a message to Dave Matthews’ My Space account. “But what I am prepared to offer, is a free cake of your choice for the opportunity to simply have you grace my little store with your musical prowess.“
Here’s the rest of what Heather Short wrote to Matthews:
Dearest Mr. Matthews-
My name is Heather Short and am opening a bakery in little ‘ol downtown Waynesboro, Virginia called, short & SWEET Bakery. Recognizing that you’ve probably got a few things on your plate…I thought I’d make this brief.
I wanted to extend an offer to you to perhaps perform at my new little bakery if you’re ever in the area. Now, I realize that this request may sound a bit crazy, and of course I don’t really have any moo-laa per-se that I could pay you with. But what I am prepared to offer, is a free cake of your choice for the opportunity to simply have you grace my little store with your musical prowess. I’d be happy to promote the little show by placing a flyer in my storefront window.
For your salvitatory pleasure (not sure that’s actually a word), I’ve included my website where you’re welcome to pick a cake from the photo collection…or simply dream one up to your fancy. www.shortandsweetbakery.com
Looking forward to hearing you play some tunes at short & SWEET…
Sincerely,
Heather
