no i didnt

OAR and pseudopod and marc broussard were all one show on march 30th 2003 i paid 12500 for them. now they are 25000.

maroon5 was a seperate show. i got lucky with them they just finished a tour with john maye, and the next week they were starting with the couting crows and some other band
i got maroon5 right before they hit big. i payed 2500 for them. a week later, they were 15000+++

that is what mtv will do to a band

You can hang out with the Red Hot Chili Peppers
You can lie to me and say it's not true
You can drive ol' Mike Ness down to Houston
Tell all of your friends he thinks your cool

Or you can see inside the Stray Cats tour bus
You can see the Butt Hole Surfers overseas
You can party with the dead till you're crazy in the head
But you can't get away from me

No, you can't get away from me
Seattle, Hollywood, or N.Y.C.
You're a tour bus magnet
And you think that no one sees

But you can't get away from me
Oh you can't get away!
Well you can party down with Warren in ol' New Orleans
You can get engaged with Charlie Sexton, too

You can take a ride on Billy Idol's Harley
Watch while Henry Rollins gets a tattoo
Or you can run off with some Aerosmith Roadie
You can get inside a party for Ice-T

You can travel with the crew
Till they're all sick of you
But you can't get away from me

No, you can't get away from me
Seattle, Hollywood, or N.Y.C.
You're a tour bus magnet
And you think that no one sees

But you can't get away from
No you can't get away from me
Oh my God! You can't get away from me

 

[MrChad]

I met the guys from Big Bad Voodoo Daddy once. Does that count?

 

[Rob9874]

I'm acquaintance of the guitarist of Stryper (80's metal band), Oz Fox. I know his sister-in-law real well. Mainly because I was a Stryper fan back in the day, and I thought she could introduce me to him, which she did. I was invited to their weekly family chatroom for a while.

My college roommate played football when we went to Illinois, so I knew some of the players on the team like Ken Dilger and Simeon Rice (both on the Bucs now), and met Kevin Hardy. My roommate played pro for a while, and started, but got hurt soon after and had to retire. (Ken Blackman, OL for Bengals) </name dropping>

 

[skychief]

I worked in the backstage area of a local ampitheater in 89-90 and I got to meet Billy Joel, Robert Plant, Kiss, The Eagles, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Joe Cocker and many more, it was so awesome. My crowning acheivement though, was when Chasey Lain bummed a cigarette off of me, in a strip club, in dowtown Pittsburgh.

 

The mighty mighty bosstones on many occasions.
Hepcat
Type O negative

a few more, can't remember though.

 

[aphex]

I went to high school with New Found Glory (sat next to Jordan in Spanish class) and middle school with Greg Cipes (starring in the new Broken Lizard movie, Club Dredd). I know Greg would remember me, it was my dumbass fault for forgetting our 6th grade science project that we worked togeather on. Luckily the teacher only dropped a grade off and let us bring it in the next day

 

[Sealy]

-I met Liza Minelli when she was visiting Capilano Suspension Bridge in Vancouver.
-Biff Naked after a concert
-The whole Rhymes with Orange band, but actually partied with Rob (Bass guitar) He was quite bummed that I had a boyfriend and would'nt sleep with him!

That's about it I guess....my husband though, met Steven Tyler outside Science World in Vancouver. He asked him if he had change for a loonie! That was back in the early 90's and Steven Tyler was wearing spandex and leg warmers!

They filmed that bridge scene in "The Net" down the stree from our studio. In one shot, you can see the 7-11 that sits on the corner near the estuary in Alameda.
We went to the store to check out the action, and Ms. Bullock was there with some of the crew in the parking lot. I guess they were setting the bridge for a shot or soemthing.
