About Flat Patty
Flat Patty is taken from the “Flat Stanley” project that has taken over tons of classrooms, based on the wonderful book Flat Stanley by Jeff Brown.
Flat Patty is our new “mascot”, (RIP Charlie!), and is being sent to fans in cities all over to help promote, and spread the love for our beloved Patty Loveless. We happen to think she’s pretty rad.
Check in often to see how many miles she’s logged, the new fans she makes, what she did in each town, and of course – what fans she’s visiting!
We have given Flat Patty’s blog a bit of a facelift, and back to start blogging! It was a rough winter for a lot of PLN’ers, and we kept Flat P local for a bit. She’s back to road tripping & meeting new fans!
Here’s a few of the recent things she’s been up to, and we’ll feature more soon!
Flat Patty is BACK! Now that we’ve had a chance to replace her, the new Flat Patty is beginning to make her rounds….
And while we had to make a totally different Flat Patty, ALL of the old Flat Patty blogs and photos will stay up.
If you want her to visit you, please contact us.
We will not be assigning anyone to have her the week of September 20th-27th. It’s imperative we have her for all our shows up north for “PattyFest” this year with as many PLN’ers that we have travel in for the shows, so I’ll be keeping tabs on her that week. Please let us know if you’ll be at Patty’s shows that week so we can include you in her photos!
To answer a few questions:
-We don’t care how the photos are taken- camera, cell phone, disposable camera if you don’t have either of the above— as long as they are in a format you can email to me or print and send to me. We’d prefer them to be emailed, but I can transfer them to digital format if I need to.
-You can write the blog or submit the photos and we’ll write it for you. We’ll host all the images, there is no need for uploading them elsewhere.
-There is no “set” way to run around with Flat Patty. We want photos with anyone and everyone, in every place imaginable. This is fun for all of us, and a way for everyone to promote Patty, as much as she deserves to be promoted.
Flat Patty had the chance to catch a show at The Listening Room in Nashville, TN recently….and not just any show, she was able to catch former PL Band Member (whose massively adored by many PL fans!), Marcia Ramirez! Flat Patty stole the show not long after arriving, and the emcee for the night completely fell in love with her! And, she even had a glass of wine bought for her…. (yes, red)!! Flat Patty is really a hit everywhere she goes— everyone really DOES love Patty 
She made some new fans, but was able to break away from the mob that was crazy about her to sit back and enjoy a lot of great music, before getting to send some love to Marcia before the night was over.
Note Flat Patty is still proudly boasting her “DRIVE4COPD” pin, to not only help spread the PL Gospel, but to help promote Drive4COPD.com!
Flat Patty started her travels in Nashville, TN on March 7th. She made some new fans when walking around the Parthenon, and went by the Ryman, where our girl has played so many times. My sweet super duper cute nephew took wonderful care of her and showed her to all the other kids, and was sure to include her in his photo with the big train.
Last on the trip was a stop to the Country Music Hall of Fame– where Patty Loveless will one day be inducted! (And that’s not my biased opinion, it’s a fact!)
