This past weekend I had the opportunity to see my favorite band live. Twice! They have been touring for a total of 23 years and have never come anywhere within driving distance of my hometown. Last weekend they played 2 nights at Macewan Hall in Calgary Alberta. I was absolutely ecstatic to see them as the guitar player is the biggest hero in my life. I paid 300 CDN Dollars for a VIP seating/Meet and Greet with the band. The meet and greet moved relatively fast so I never had a chance to do more than shake hands, ask a question or two and grab a few autographs.
After that though, I was too excited to stay sitting. I was awaiting my ride back to the hotel (My mom and her friend were coming to take us) so I went for a walk. I spotted a crowd around the tour bus and walked over to see the lead singer talking to a few people. I talked a bit with him and he went back on the bus. The Drummer and Keyboardist came out of the bus one at a time a little later. The band does a cartoon style joke about themselves as heros with supernatural powers and the keyboardist is known as the keyboard wizard among the fanbase. Who better to show magic to then the keyboard wizard?
I showed him Digital Dissolve (I had kept it in my pocket by accident. I didnt even have a deck of cards!) and he was so afraid to open his hand containing the silver coin afterwards that I had to actually take his hand and turn it over for him. He open his hand slowly to find the coins had switched and went into a rant about how he's never seen any wizard of any sort do anything that real! He used a few ...more descriptive....words (heh) than I can post here but he, as well as the entire crowd (of approx twenty) seemed very impressed.
All in all. It was the best weekend of my life!
Anyone else have a chance to share an effect or two with a hero?
