I haven't posted here in eight years, although I have visited to hear the latest on MCA's health. I've been desperately sad since Friday and needed to share my tale with someone, I hope you guys don't mind...!
In '95 I dyed my hair pink and skived off Uni to spend a week of my life following the Beastie Boys on tour round the UK & Ireland. They were the most charming, sweet, funny men I ever met. They welcomed me into their world and taught me that anything is possible if you just believe.
Some months after the tour, I wrote to Yauch. He was kind enough to send me a letter and a postcard in return. In 2007 I managed to catch up with him at their London Roundhouse gig. We reminisced about the Ill Communication tour and laughed about how we'd grown up and got married. I told him how much that week back when I was twenty had changed my life. He smiled.
Last year I was feeling particularly nostalgic and dug out my letters, passes and photos. I made this frame to hang in my hallway.

I heard about Yauch's death from my husband on Friday whilst returning from nursery with our son. I stood outside my house for fifteen minutes sobbing, I knew when I opened the door the first thing I would see was the photo of him on my wall. I'm devastated, but yet so honoured that a hero of mine found time in his life for me. Love you Adam.
