Fun Stuff > BAND
The closest you've gotten to / are with artists

Got to meet Nightwish after their show at the White Rabbit in San Antonio last October. Also got to meet and hang out with the guys of Into Eternity and Mike LePond of Symphony X. There was a time when I was glad I met Herman Li and Vladim of DragonForce, but that dies every time I think about seeing them live again. Though, according to Troy of IE, they've managed to tighten the show up a lot.
But yeah, just those three bands. Not a lot of easily accessible artists come through central Texas. Dream Theater played last August, but it requires an epic level feat and a virgin sacrifice to even hope to get those tickets to meet em.

my sister used to hang out with Coheed and Cambria so a few of them used to come over all the time. Claudio is a strange dude.
I interviewed Koufax after seeing them once. they were cool guys.

As impressive as Jackie's list is, this is by far the best post in this thread.
I am still jealous that you got to interview Ian.
Anyway I have never actually met anyone musical who is important. SAD

Had a lovely 25 minute conversation with Alan Sparhawk from Low after a gig in Norwich.
Have been friends with Sam Duckworth (Get Cape, Wear Cape, Fly) for a few years now since a friend introduced us at one of his gigs.
Had several drinks with Fyfe Dangerfield from Guillemots at the first Latitude festival.

The only reason I realized I could (theoretically) brag about this is that my friend who sits next to me in C++ is a HUGE fan of theirs, but don't ask me why. (She has really weird taste in music. She's also a huge Pat Benetar fan, and that's just pathetic. I hope she'll grow out of it.) How exactly are they embarrassed for them?
And I remember more bragging points I could get. My friend is the stage manager for The Tabernacle in NJ, which hosts a lot of 60's artists who are still playing. As such, he's gotten to hang and play with Hot Tuna, Levon Helm (The drummer for the band called The Band as in Bob Dylan and The Band), The Rascals, and most recently, Lucy Kaplanski. That was last night. The biggest name he's gotten is fucking Donovan. They flew him in from Scotland specially and he did a small tour in the NYC area. At Woodstock, the four artists they couldn't afford to get were The Beatles, The Stones, Donovan, and I believe The Who. I may have that last one wrong, though.
