How I learned of Erik

 Where do I start? Well let see I was first introduced to the story by my friend Kim in 5th grade. She saw ALW musical  in Canada and told me about it. I was ecstatic. I ran out an rented Claude Rains version and it was extremely disappointing. Well I did not let this discourage me. I went to Barnes and Noble and bought Gaston Leroux Novel. I could not put it down. I fell head over heals with Erik and well I was hooked ever since.

Why I love Erik

Erik means to me a lot of different things. First and for most he's a safe place for me. I know I can always listen to Michael Crawford or watch Lon Chaney and feel 100% better then I did before. I have never felt more alive then when I played Phantom for 2 mouths night after night at Richards Haunted House. I  changed for the better after. I think a little peace of Erik's spirit lodged it's self in my being.
