Last night i had the priviledge to meet my idol/role model. ben gibbard. he was performing a acoustic concert and havig a chat about music with some other guy i don't know. ill get the bad out of the way first. we headed up to san fran giving us time to do what we need to do (sfobv) get some food, and get to the concert on time. so we pick up the first girl, she seemed chill but kind of ditzy.... nothing i cared about tho, then we stopped at the other girls house, she waskind of the same way. they made us about 45 minutes late, they showed no respect at all for the fact i really wanted to get to this concert, the girl who lived in SF got us lost, and i finally asked for directions and aparently she took us to the wrong side of the city. whatever.. we get there, sit down, ben is chatting with the otherguy, and im really enjoying it. all the while the 2 girls on my left were giggling, making fun of the artist, saying wtf is this shit. lets just leave. this is so boring. im hungry. it was obvious they had no respect for the artist, wheneverhewould say anything, they had a sarcastic way of putting him down. they texted and laughed threw all of his songs and ruined the entire concert as well as embarassing me. do any girls my age have class? is there one frickin adult? im starting to realize there is a reason i have money and no one else does.


on to the good... at the end of the concert, ben was doing a signing. there was nothing to buy on the table except the other guys books. but then i found the last plans CD. the lady sold it to me (ripped me off too, i knew it was a $15 cd but let her sell it for $20. i immediately got in line and waited my turn. before i knew it i was face to face shaking hands with my idol. i had a million things to say but i couldn't think of anything. at that moment i was not 19 years old. i was 9. i gave him my cd to sign, which he broke open because i didnt take the wrapper off. i got a picture with him, and was on my way. and of course the girls just bitched and complained the rest of the night, but i was satisfied. but id pay a good amount of money to sit down and have a chat with my idol. also id really like to see a video of the first half of the interview i missed.
