I never personally met with any of the band members before. The closest I ever came to actually meeting/conversing with any of the band members was a little while ago in Northampton MA when Thurston squeezed by me in a crowded room and said "excuse moi" and put his hand on my shoulder as he walked by to get to the stage to start their set. Lateer in the night, after SY had finished their first set, Thurston was off in the corner and was tapping his foot to the insane noise of the Magik Markers. Since he is so damn tall and his feet are pretty large (lucky Kim), the very tip of his shoe was actually bouncing up and down on mine wearing an even bigger hole in my already torn up Chuck Taylors. It was awesome. I didn't even care that he was creating a bigger hole in my sneaker, I just thought it was amazingly cool that one of my idols was repeatedly stepping on my foot.
