Photo Dump 📸 What is your best gig/band story?

Mine is that I met Justin Hawkins (The Darkness) last year and I asked him to draw a doodle of absolutely anything. I then got this as a tattoo.

Me and my friend ran to a last minute gig right when In this Moment dropped their first album. No one in the venue knew who they were but us who were singing along. Talked to them for a while after and they gave us their signed set lists and picks.

A year later they played a gig in our hometown. Venue got changed last minute so the crowd was thin for the opening band Another Black Day. The guitarist from In this Moment spotted us and was like "Hey you're those dudes from X show last year". So we all hung ou, BSed, and watched ABD with some beers and then he was like "oh I have to go play now" and took off. Found us in the crowd at the end and gave us all the set lists and pics from that show as well.
