So, last night I had to attend a wake. I don’t know if it’s only a European thing, my sisters overseas might have to google that one up just in case, but yeah, it was odd. At some point one of my best friends waltzed in with this HUGE guy, like 2 meters tall, and his tiny wife went along as well. My good friend apparently told them who I am, and the huge ass guy and his tiny wife immediately went FAN MODE:
Yoooo, your album from 2008 is in our cupboard!
I’m a shy person and being this overwhelmed with fans, that was very strange and scary to me at first. But we had a good run. Just talking about music nonstop.
To me, which I could laugh about, was the fact that I’m doing very, very different music these days, playing a different instrument, just doing my thing and yeah, I had to share phone numbers with them so I can share what I’m doing now.
A really, really weird, but fun night. Music nerds meeting another music nerd… :D
That doesn’t sound like a weird compliment, more like wanting to start a conversation with someone they’re a fan of … it’s very cool that you have fans :-)
Thank you. It’s always been odd to my coping with fans. I struggle with that a lot. Why would anyone be a fan of this very depressed gal on the synth / keys / drums in the first place? ^^
To millions of people around the world, depressed synth/keys/drums is their jam … just look at Depeche Mode
