As a stand up, Bob got booed and heckled while doing a comedy routine in Las Cruces NM before a hard rock band, Head East. The southwest drunk crowd booed him to no end, so Bob wrote back as a thank you gestures.

-On March 21, 1979, Saget, who would've been 22 years old at the time, landed a gig at NMSU's Pan Am Center as one of two opening acts for the hard rock band Head East.

Following the show, Saget submitted a letter to the editor of The Round Up, which was published March 26, 1979.

The letter begins: "I'd like to go on the record for saying that I actually do like your school, even though I wasn't exactly welcomed with open arms … It's a shame that 1,900 students had to ruin it for the other 100."

Saget goes on to thank his fans and then promises, "I will not slander your school or town on the Tonight Show this summer."

He continues: "After my 'show,' I went to Lamar's with a few people from your programming committee and eventually forgot that I had performed. You've got a nice town and school. Don't burn it down."

Saget ends his letter by stating: "I wish to sincerely thank those of you who tried to hear my act and enjoyed it," and then he offers to get "free water" for anyone who visits him at The Comedy Store in Los Angeles.-
