My first celebrity crush? <a href="http://www.chadallenonline.com/">Chad Allen</a> (and I still have the photo and form letter he sent back… somewhere). Kenzie’s first celebrity crush (three years strong, now) is arguably much more talented. Unfortunately, Nickel Creek’s not coming to Austin any time soon (save for the <a href="http://www.aclfestival.com/default.aspx">Austin City Limits Music Festival</a> in September - way too pricey for us), so he’ll have to be content with their cds and videos.
