Portage, IN -- Some people don't give a flying-fig about anything, but Marsha Moore is not one of those people.

For the past 17 years, Moore -- a single mom with two kids from Portage, Indiana -- has been trying to meet her hero Anton Fig, drummer for "The Late Show with David Letterman."

Despite her best efforts, Moore says she's been foiled every time. When she went to New York in 1992 to see a taping of "The Late Show," the show was on hiatus.

Even a few months ago, she tried to make it to the taping of a TV show called "Anton Fig's Drum Clinic" in Palatine, Illinois, but had to cancel her trip due to illness. However, she says Fig sent her a video greeting wishing her well.

Moore has started a media campaign "Project Figments" via her website grassrootsproject.batcave.net to drum up support for the drummer's CD, "Figments."

But there's an ulterior motive. She hopes that Fig will hear about her plight and introduce himself in person.
