For me it was Jeff Kinney. I was meeting a different author I love, but there wasn’t enough room downstairs and we had to go up. Turns out that’s exactly where Jeff Kinney works! He’s the author who got me into reading so I thought that was so cool

    Hello fellow Metal Band meeter. What was your trick? I just hung out by the venue for a few hours after the shows finished. Got lucky with a few contests as well.

      Small venues offer more opportunities. I also am a musician myself, so being friendly with opening local acts and sometimes doing sound or hell, even sometimes filling in for my buddies if they needed a guitar or bass to step in. I’ve just been involved in the scene as a fan, a tech, and musician for a long time, it just kind of happens.
