Fun Stuff > BAND
The closest you've gotten to / are with artists
Immersion:
A couple of my friends and I are going to hang out with Benn Jordan after one of his upcoming shows, I guess because my friend's girlfriend has been chatting him up on the nets for a month or two now. I'm just trying to figure out what the guy's gonna be like...that music doesn't come from a normal person.
Noct:
I had lunch with Cyndi Lauper last week. She talked about her family (particularly her 10-year-old related drama), fashion, and of course the state of music. She also got fairly sloshed on mojitos and started calling people "rat-fucks". Good times.
rosary:
Interviewing Al from Hot Chip this afternoon.
MysticalChicken:
Walking out of a We Are Scientists/Arctic Monkeys concert, I happened to look over and see Keith Murray and he waved at me. (He was looking directly at me so I'm 99% sure it was me he was waving to) I went over and met him. Since I am a dork, all I could think to say was "you guys are good."
Met Storm Large & got autograph and picture of me and her at a bar in Portland. She was there to do this promotion thing.
ALMOST met Colin Meloy once. He was hanging around outside the venue at an Arcade Fire concert that I went to, and he was literally less than arm's length from me and he was looking at me, but I was too nervous to say anything to him. I was kicking myself for weeks after that.
Met Old 97's after a free show they played at one of my favorite record stores. (I didn't manage to get tickets to their actual show that night, so I went to that instead.) Not sure if it counts because it was really a meet-and-greet sort of thing, but they are my favorite alt-country band. I told Rhett Miller this and he said that was an honor. He also said I had a cool name. (Note: I also saw someone there who looked EXACTLY like Janet Weiss from Sleater-Kinney. I'm not sure if it were really her though.)
Never actually met her, but sometimes I email Carol van Dyk from Bettie Serveert (my favorite band) on her MySpace. She doesn't always reply but when she does, she writes rather long emails, which I love, especially since I know she's busy. She seems to be very nice, too. We exchanged top ten CDs lists a few months back.

Holy shit, I laughed so hard I got tears in my eyes.
allison:
Used to hang out with a Canadian band called Hedley. Mostly they are lame radio-rock, but it was 3 years ago, and it was catchy, and it was all the Jager I wanted. Met some really cool people that worked on their tours and stuff.
Two of the guys in the band turned out to be real assholes though, so I distanced myself from the whole scene.
