Haha, yes, I started smoking pot at a pretty young age. I still love the stuff, but these days I like it more because it helps with my chronic pain. I'm a huge advocate for the legalization of marijuana. I have to take extremely large amounts of very strong painkillers because I've suffered from chronic pain for over seven years and smoking pot really helps when my meds aren't helping enough. When you suffer from chronic pain like I do, the stress of it is also a big deal, because you're worried that you won't be able to do the things you need to do since you're in so much pain. So pot also helps me relax and calm down enough to figure out how I'm going to accomplish what I need to that day.

Some bands or members I have met are No Use For A Name, Mighty Mighty Bosstones, Anti-Flag, The Queers, Chuck Shuldiner (R.I.P.) & James Murphy of the band Death, Igor Cavalera drummer for Sepultura, The Eyeliners. There maybe more but I can't think right now.

A bunch.

[farkasok]

Met the Mixtapes dudes (and ladydude). All really nice people.
Met Tripp Unseen, he was pretty nice too.
And Matt from The Bronx, who was both nice/hilariously drunk when I met him.

Also, I went to Warped Tour in 2005 and Paramore handed me (and a bunch of other people) a flyer for their set but I don't really count that.

I've luckily gotten to meet a couple dozen bands over the years, but I'll just tell my top two.
In 1998 I got kicked out of OzzFest for some bullshit. My sister and I were walking around outside of the concert and came across where all the tour buses were parked. We were just standing around for a few minutes when we saw the bassist for The Deftones walking towards their bus. We started up a conversation with him and he told us to come in. When we got in the bus, all the band members were just hanging out, drinking beer, etc. We got to chill with them for about an hour and a half. I was only 13 years old at the time, but they gave me several beers, then a bong filled with some killer pot. It was actually the very first time I'd ever smoked pot with a bong before, and it was The Deftones bong! I was so stoned when we left the bus that I could barely walk. Remember that I was only 13 so I'd only been smoking weed for about three years at that time, and The Deftones were very popular in the 90's, so give me a break if you think they suck! I haven't listened to them in 8-9 years, but I grew up in the 90's so I have some nostalgia when it comes to that type of music. So that's my first story : I got stoned with The Deftones when I was just a kid, and they let me use the first bong of my entire pot filled life!

My other favorite story happened last year. My man and I went and caught a Dax Riggs show. After it was over we got started talking to him and he invited us and several of our friends backstage with him to smoke some of the weed I'd brought with us. We hung out, got stoned and talked about so many things for around an hour. I absolutely love Dax Riggs' music, so I was incredibly happy that I got to sit right next to him on a loveseat, pass joints back and forth and have a great conversation.

Farse, Solabeat Alliance, The King Blues, Hellisforheroes (randomly) Cky, Dropkick Murphys, Wednesday 13th, Alkaline trio (several times), muse (because of they played my local venue, as they were local alot when i was a kid) Hundred reasons for the same reason, Less than jake, reuben and i think thats it except for i ran into Keith from The Prodigy at T in the Park in 07. :-)

used to know Members of The Computers (sound like the hives) who are quite famous now.
