Yeah, I mean, I've never freaked out around the guys or any other musician, but I imagine it would be really sucky to look back on that and wish things would have gone differently or feel embarrassed about how you acted.
Then again, the opposite is fairly embarrassing too. I mean, acting like you've known them for ages, when you've only just met them. The first time I met Tim, I left thinking "what the fuck was I doing flirting with him?? Am I actually insane....?".

When I met Tori Amos I could barely speak. I had about 8 gadjillion things I wanted to say to her, but all I could say was "You changed my life!" for which she gave me a hug. Then I stood there and looked at her, dumbfounded, until she asked me if the people I was with were my friends, so I introduced them. We posed for a picture, she signed the picture, and we were ushered out of the room.
I spent a good 20 minutes after that crying on the sidewalk.
I'm not gonna pretend that I'm not absolutely in bliss when I meet them after an orgasmic show. I think it'd be selfish to keep them in a conversation about ping pong or double espresso over ice when there're other fans waiting impatiently.. so I dunno. Being ecstatic and crying a little is just a bullet of emotion that they'll receive from you: short and to the point.
well, we'd all be in bliss- otherwise, we wouldn't be here. And I'm not saying have a long conversation. I'm just saying that I regret being all gushy and fangirly. Those few minutes you have to meet your hero would make a much better memory if something interesting was actually said. And they're people- they'd appreciate something other than another squeal. I'm just saying, don't make the same mistake I did.
haha wow you made a magazine!? I would love to get them to sign it, how do i get a copy?
Thanks for the strip tease topic starter too, mabye i could ask for a reinactment...?
I just made a fake magazine cover not a actual magazine. Here is the link to the picture just upload it to a flash drive or something and have it printed on photo paper for them to autograph. Fake Magazine Cover
If you want a reinactment just upload his favorite Silversun Pickups song and play it for him. He said that song makes him go crazy lol. Just make sure you have something ready to record it with lol.
Wowee, thanks for all the awesome replies everyone!!
I will definitely take all of this into consideration and try my utmost not to freak the guys out/mob them. Haha! No, I'm definitely going to be all cool, calm and collected, and even if I don't get a picture with the awesome Tim, I'll be okay with that.
Aargh, August can't come soon enough!!
Ooh, thanks for the welcome Tempe Arizona. I'm a long time lurker, first time poster here!
I'm so excited for you. What fun you'll have at your Ok Go show! Watch out, this board is like a fine satiny piece of chocolate, addictive and hard to resist.
Arrogance seriously helps. Lol. Last time I met them, I just told myself "man, these guys are so lucky to meet me again. They better appreciate it..." Works every time
Taking tips from Hannah, I see? "Can I have your autograph, because I'm awesome."
That was before I knew about Hannah... And then when I heard her confronting Damian I thought "Jesus, I'm thinking that I'm more awesome than them, but I'm not actually gonna say it to them!!!"
^^^^haha aw if my coughfakecough ID doesn't work out can i come to Adelaide too?!? we can crash at my uncles place. we'll just walk in, dump our stuff and then head off to the concert.
IT'S FOOLPROOF!

That cover is very cool haha wish there was a real magazine though and I will definately be smuggling my camera in, just in case Tim decides to unleash his gold panty-clad-chip-eating stripper!
<cut> Promoters of the upcoming OK Go tour have announced that due to scheduling issues the band will not be playing their show at Fowlers Live on August 5th. No other information is available at this time.
Punters who have already bought tickets can get a full refund from Venuetix in Da Costa Arcade. <cut>
What?! Whyeee? Okay, I really hope that this doesn't happen to the Brisbane show. Did any of you end up getting tickets and were planning to go?
that really sucks for the people in adelaide, my parents were seriously considering sending me down there for the night cuz it was all ages, but then it is adelaide so we changed plans jk adelaide's cool
if they cancel the sydney show i really don't know what i'll do. god i can't even think about it it's too distressing!!
I wouldn't worry Juniperberry, because I only just realised that their Adelaide date is on the same weekend that Splendour is on, so I think they're cancelling it to do Splendour. Have you got your tickets for their Sydney show? Is it an 18+ gig?
Which makes me super mad because as I've said many times before, I MISSED OUT ON SPLENDOUR TIX! And now OK Go are (possibly, nothing's certain until the second line up is announced) gonna be there, and I'm gonna miss out on their crazy music festival-ly goodness!
Which brings me to this question for all you more experienced OK Go-ers out there - which venue do you prefer the band at: small indie rock clubs or giant music festivals?
Yeah, i figured it was for Spledour too but it's a really awful thing to do to the people in Adelaide.
I sorta hope they don't do Splendour, for my sake. lol I already have major envy of people going to Splendour and this is just going to make it worse =[ Although i think seeing OK Go in particular would be better at an intimate venue cuz then everyone is there for them and not whatever band is playing later.
I have my tickets for Sydney and yup it's 18+ BOO! but im still going.... somehow. The venue is gorgeous! it seems very fitting for our boys. It's all swanky and hip and well dressed I'm so excited!

Clubs. CLUBS. I've never seen them at a festival, but I've seen them play large venues twice and I can't say I had a good time either time. I think the reason for this is best described by Sally (Tabetha) in her review of Saturday's show with The Fray - there just aren't enough fans at these big shows, and the guys clearly feel it. Plus the people who *are* fans have to fight through the social pressure of sitting with everyone else to stand, dance, and have a good time if they want to (and it's not easy to do, I just did it yesterday and it Suuuuucked.) But I love those boys and I will plop down all the coin necessary to see them every time, no matter where they play. But Good Heavens do I hate the Tweeter Center.

Ahh, to be 18 again.

Aw, bless your wee heart! Were you crying in a good way? Or were you just overwhelmed?
A little of both. Tori was my hero back then.
