I'm doing 39 things
Met him at a cafe next door to Irving Plaza in NYC (3rd time I’ve seen them live)... My best friend saw him walk in, and no one else had really noticed, so we left the line and followed him in. I walked up to his table and apologized for being rude but wished him good luck and said I hoped he’d have fun… he asked my name and shook my hand, and did the same with the girls around me, I asked if it was weird to be home and he said “No, not really, actually” and smiled. Despite his dissheveled appearance this winter, he’s the same kid he used to be, same spiked hair and high voice, but with a full beard, it was interesting. I asked him for a hug and he said “Maybe after I’m done eating?” (didn’t end up happening) but he shook my hand again and said “Great to meet you though” as sort of an apology. He’s only 5’10 at best which surprised me… honestly the sweetest guy in the world to meet, my friend walked out of the cafe and burst into tears… it really didn’t hit me that we’d met him until after the show, on the train ride home… my life is half complete (won’t be fully complete til I get a hug!) <3
