From An Anonymous Graduate

Dear Ben Gibbard,

I am a student at UCSD and no longer attend Rosemead High. I am also a fanof your music, whether it be Death Cab or Postal Service. It's your musicthat saves the world from my road rage.I felt it appropriate to use this chance as a way to send my gratitude foryour contribution to the music world which branches its influence to manylives that you will probably never be able to come in contact with. Thankyou for your band's work.Rosemead high is not your rich, happy school. Our school had manyobstacles to overcome and everywhere Rosemead students go, we have toexplain where, and in what state it is. "It's in L.A., near Pasadena"(little do they know, Pasadena is maybe 20 minutes away). I only hope thatyou consider that performing at their prom would be a monument of anevent. Years later, Rosemead students will have higher aspirations as tobelieve in the caring nature of others, even distant celebrities andmusicians who have many other worries on their minds.Maybe, just maybe you will attend their Such Great Heights prom, and thenwe can shove it in the faces of skeptics who said it would never happen.

Dear Ben Gibbard,

It would be a good thing for you to show up at our prom this April.
You are like my favorite artist ever, and that would be really nice of you to do it. My classmates and I want you to know that you coming to our prom would be like a dream come true.

Thank you,

From Kevin Wong '08

Dear Ben Gibbard,

Hi, my name is Kevin Wong. Since these past three years, junior class council has been working hard to put on countless events for our students here at Rosemead High School. As this year, being our junior year, the most difficult task is Prom 2007. We have been working extremely hard this year to put together such a night for our student body at Rosemead that would be remembered forever. Our theme this year is "Such Great Heights" because of one of your most popular songs. We desperately ask that you would be so kind to take away a night from your busy schedule to play one song for our prom at universal Studios on April 28, 2007. Hope to hear from you soon.
