In recent months, I had a brush with a celebrity and froze in the moment. I figured that I could redeem myself and somehow, I wouldn't embarrass myself come DNC time.
However, after last night, I think that I am going to fail miserably in the next few weeks.
My friend Sara and I went to see Joshua Radin last night at my favorite venue in Denver. As we stood in the crowd, I realized we standing next to Joshua. Eventually I asked him if he often stands in the crowd and his response was no, but that he thought he should. When the opening act finished, I reminded him that he had to go get ready. His response "Oh yeah, I have to go put on my eyeliner".
When the lights dimmed, I realized my mistake. The person I had been talking to wasn't Joshua. It was his bass player.
Oh. My. God.
I felt like the perpetual L should be branded on my forehead. I felt like the biggest idiot in the world.
I realized in that moment, I'm either going to confuse someone or not even recognize them come DNC time.
But the show was fantastic. Especially the part where Joshua came out to the crowd and stood about 100 feet from us and played acoustically.
