Oh noes...I'm really drunk and now my dickish name-dropping has been given a chance to escape...but here it comes anyway. I will preface this by saying that living in Brighton, and working in clubs/promoting etc tends to lead to meeting/becoming acquainted with bands et al, but the rest I put down to stalking.

- Ted from Cursive slept on my floor after being harassed by my alcoholic housemate.
- Kevin Rowland asked me to sing backing vocals when he was singing acapella in a club
- Stuart Murdoch from Belle & Sebastian mocked me for having lots of Bright Eyes albums. I cut his DJ set short in response. He is a dick. And was playing a terrible set.
- Conor Oberst kissed my hand. He was wasted.
- Nick Zinner from Yeah Yeah Yeahs took a photo of my skirt - this was on the same night - I later got mistaken for a hooker. This was kind of embarassing and slightly scary, but when it happened I was too full of fangirly joy to take it all that seriously...
- Peaches 'interviewed' me with a camera in hand at 4am after one of her gigs as she took a shine to my gaffer-tape dress
- I periodically name-drop The Pipettes, but one of them is my mates. Same goes for This City and Restless List.

There are more, but I shall avoid the tales of members of 3rd rate indie bands I've thrown up on in an attempt to preserve some minute shred of dignity and to keep the distinction between fangirly scenester type and slightly inappropriate groupie type in place.

Fargo is small.

It was fun! He was a pretty cool guy and gave me a set list after they had finished. And I had a good chat with Kim, also of Shearwater, at that show. She was a total sweetheart.

At the Ted Leo show I had a good chat with him while they were setting up. I helped him out with some cords and equipment and we exchanged the usual conversation starters. Which seems pretty pathetic but it was TED LEO.

I sat on a couch with Phil Elverum (Mount Eerie) and chatted for a whole show without knowing who he was until he got up and said "Sorry to leave you, but I have to go play some music now." He was the most soft-spoken, chill person I have ever met but he was also quite funny. That was a good show.

Also Fargo is small. Sad.

Jackie Blue:
I should stop bothering to list people I've hung out with because I keep remembering more.

- Tarantel
- Low
- The Voodoo Organist
- Ken Vandermark
- Z'ev
- The Butthole Surfers
- Captured By Robots

TheFuriousWombat:
Fuck you for knowing Jefre Cantu-Ledesma! The man's a genius and Tarentel is one of my all time favorite bands.

I've also met Phil Elverum and he's an incredibly nice, humble, friendly guy. We talked about photography and such. This was after he played in a tiny room at my school for over an hour and a half, doing all requests from the audience because, as he was coming to the show, his car broke down, forcing him to sell it, rent a new on, and finally get the the show a couple hours late. As a result I think he lost any semblance of a playlist he might have had. The show was brilliant since he played all the best stuff by The Microphones and Mount Eerie and hung around afterwards talking to people. It was awesome.

BrittanyMarie:
Oh man, Captured! by Robots... the last time I saw them it was the night of my grandpa's funeral, and we were really close. That was code for I was extremely upset still so I  ended up taking a jillion shots. I squeezed J-Bot's butt like four times. I kind of feel bad about it.
