Adventures of a Pasty Midwestern Girl in Sunny LA
So.
Went to the Hammerhead's show tonight - The Hammerheads being the band Anton Yelchin's in.
Before the show, I checked their myspace and they had announced a 'contest' for two free tickets, where you were supposed to just message them with a reason, so naturally I responded with the fact that I'd came all the way out from California.
They messaged back saying that it was a really convincing testimonial, etc, but I didn't win - Which, whatever, I was totally cool with.
But then, at the show - They finally take the stage after two other bands and start playing. We were standing RIGHT in front of Anton, which was awesome - So they're playing and playing and sounding excellent and then all of a sudden, out of nowhere, between songs, Dave, the bassist, is like.
"So uh, where's Megatron?" My myspace name is Meg[atron].
So I'm standing right there like "...uh..."
And he's like "Meg? Megatron? Is Megatron here?" Some guy starts screaming, and I'm like, wait, they're talking about me - So me, and my friends all start waving and I'm like "I'M RIGHT HERE~"
And they look at me and are like "Oh hey that's Meg, she's a really huge fan! Thanks for coming out!" or something like that - whatever they said, i don't remember it verbatim, but yeah...@_@
So they finish their set awesomely, the main band - the Chelsea Girls, who turned out to be a really interesting all female metal cover group - took the stage, and played.
OH YEAH, I FORGOT - Before the Hammerheads came on, I turned around to see none other than Kat mother fucking Dennings standing not two feet behind me.
So yeah, there's that.
But anyway. The Chelsea Girls finished up and the venue started clearing out so we hung around so we could at least see the band - We ran into Dave, the bassist, first, and he shook my hand and was super nice - then he went back to get the rest of the band, so we waited around.
Some guys from Norway started talking to us, they were fun.
And then, all of a sudden, my friend is pushing me towards Anton and the drummer Ryan.
Lots of hugging happened, just adorable and chatty and I was tripping over words the whole time. They were really impressed I'd come so far and Anton was like "Have fun at comic con!" and I was like ":D"
So I got a picture with them when Ryan is like "whoa whoa, wait, let's do a kissing picture!"
So....yeah, both Ryan and Anton stood on either side of me and kissed my cheeks. I've got a picture of it.
Oh my god I can't believe that happened.
Oh my god. This report probably makes no sense because I'm still jacked on adrenaline.
Holy fuck.
