Fun Stuff > BAND
The closest you've gotten to / are with artists
Proper House:
Opened for Joan of Arc a couple months ago.
Sold a sweepstake ticket to Robert Plant when I was a wee young'n. Had no idea who he was at the time though.. :-(
dystancholitects:
Attended a four-week program with members of Maps & Atlases two years back, we're still close. I've run into Kyp Malone before (once during a performance/Q&A, and then again), and he knows my face. There are some more, I'll edit this later.
Patatat:
I've partied with multiple bands, but I don't really ever care enough to make a deal out of it at all. The only time I got excited was when I found out I could've met the drummer from Alkaline Trio, but instead of taking me (a huge Alkaline Trio fan), my roommate took some whore friend of hers (WHO DIDN'T EVEN KNOW WHO THEY WERE!).
Ballard:
dystancholitects, watch out for the difference between Quote and Modify.
GMM:
For the one guy I've seen mention The Long Winters on here: I hung out with John Roderick and Eric Corson after they played a gig in Birmingham. I was wearing a Harvey Danger t-shirt at the time which I thought might've been awkward but they both approved [and I complimented Eric's awesome John Vanderslice tee]. They invited me to go drinking with them but I had to get home. Oh and at one point Eric put his arm around a female friend of mine who I started dating a few weeks later.
I've talked to Gareth, Tom and Neil from Los Campesinos! after a show in Bedford. In fact, me and Tom discussed Theme Park tactics - the ol' increase-the-salt/raise-the-price-of-soda trick and all that. Me and Gareth talked about how the NME are idiots and Sparky Deathcap is awesome.
And if online things count, I've had a fair few online discussions with Gareth Campesinos! [about downloading music and disagreeing about Kate Nash] and Julia Indelicate.
Oh, I've high-fived Alan Sparhawk and had a decent talk with Rob Pope from Spoon [who gave me a signed setlist]
