I have met Thurston, Kim, Lee, Steve & Jim and every experience kicked ass, I've even gotten backstage twice...
Thurston and Lee I have met quite a few times now and had the opportunity to have actual conversations with them. They are wonderful! Jim hung out with us for a good 20+ mins after a show once.
I have everyones autographs and various pics with them...
At Thurstons solo 'Trees' show they actually called my friend and I backstage to take pics with Thurston becuz of my DIY shirt.

At Lee's solo 'Rock Paper Scissors' performance, him and Mike Watt were all smiles and spoke a lot about the art exhibit with me and my friend.

All of them are down to earth, kind-hearted people who have not let fame jade them. Sonic love/Sonic life/etc.
