Anyway, I wanted to share some of the stories that I will one day tell my grand children. (Unless something beats this, and I have hopes)
I was in the press room and all of a sudden, the band Mariana's Trench walks in. I've been a fan since 2005 so this is pretty big for me. I started talking to them, we got friendly and one of them brought me chocolate mousse from the catering (since media aren't allowed food- what a stupid rule)!
I know it doesn't sound that exciting, but hey, I got chocolate mousse from a band member of one of my favourite bands!
Story #2: Not really a story, but I was sitting at the same table (f0r one of the sessions) as the keyboardist of Ill Scarlett! And the lead singer of the Arkells sat behind me.
Story #3: I made eye contact with the guitarist of Crash Parallel twice! He is really cute. He looks like a less buff version of Taylor Lautner. And he plays the guitar really well.
Okay wow these stories are kind of lame, but hey, its not every day that you get to be in the same place as emerging Canadian artists and industry big wigs. There was this man from Nashville there who worked personally with Taylor Swift, lots of Hollywood types...
Oh and Jesse Labelle emailed me (because I told him I had lots of pictures of him, which I took at his show). So now I know his email... and I can bomb him with fan mail. Just kidding! I'm supposed to be professional and everything, since I work as the "media" now.
Jess, How awesome! I am very jealous! This is why I love the media industry. I had a similar run in-I got to tag along in the filming of the rick mercer report at the U of O this week and it was crazy. But to meet Marianas Trench and Il Scarlet is just unbelievable!!!!!! I wouldn't have spoken to them....good for you!
