[Dreamboat] Fan Club

[Megan Moore]

Wow - very well put.  I agree with you 1000%, $30 is nothing and Ann and 
Nancy are so accomodating to their fans that it is well worth it.  It is 
definately the best fan club I have ever joined.

>$30 per year is not asking much to join a fan club.  It pays for the band's

>the "other" goodies.  Styx, Prince and other fan clubs  - especially 
>Fleetwood Mac - charge a PREMIUM to belong to their fan clubs.  Melissa

>$30 is a tank of gas, a nice dinner out, a night out at the bar.  It's the

>but I put my change in a jar for vacation.  You could do the same to join 
>the fan club if you really want.  I'm going to grad school right now and 
>although money is tight, I have $30 to join.

>There really wasn't an "offical" fan club durning the late 1990's and early 
>2000's although A&N used their own money to have a website.  Communication 
>was okay but not great.  I will say those who are running the fan club now 
>are on the cutting edge of getting info to the fans through a very

>That's my 2 cents.  If you don't agree, that's okay.  You're entitled to
