Me: "How can I get backstage?"
Some guy that I don't know: "I'll slip you my pass under the gate, but you have to get it back to me when you get in"
Me: "For sure, thanks a lot"
(He kicks it ever so sneakily under the fence... Now I've got the nice shiny laminated pass around my neck and I head over to the security guard)
Security guard: "Friend or family?"
Me: "Friend" ha ha
Security guard: "Come back in fifteen minutes"
Me: "Ok"
Fifteen minutes later I'm back at the gate and in...I wander to the back area where the band is playing darts with a knife?
Me: "Excuse me may I borrow your marker?
Some girl that I believe is another security guard: "Here you go"
Now I stumble over to the band...
Me: "Can you guys sign my cd?"
One of the guys in the Lowest of the Low: "Sure"
Me: "Can you also take off the wrapper, I can't do it" (Because I've had a number of tasty beverages by this point)
Same band guy: "yeah, it should have one of those tab things on it"
He opens the wrapper, signs it and starts rounding up the other guys in the band (How nice!)
Next band guy: "What would you like me to write?"
Me: "I love you Robin and..."
He writes exactly that and passes it on to the next band member
Me: "Who writes the songs?"
Dylan Parker (the one I talked to the longest): "Barry Manilow writes the songs"
Lots more chatting about how they are my favourite Canadian band, that they like Sloan, that I snuck in, and why they are playing darts with a knife (I can't remember why they said they were though!)
Me: "I'm going to see you play again on Thursday in Toronto, can I get a backstage pass?"
Dylan Parker: "I don't think the security is going to be too tight you can just come and say hi" (Good answer!)
Me: "Okay well thanks so much I've gotta go my friends are waiting for me"
Them: "Nice to meet you" SUCH NICE GUYS (Including the friendly stranger who let me use his pass)!!!! The End...
