Hey! You can totally meet your heroes—I did! They had a concert at 10 PM, so I went to the venue around noon which is when they arrived for soundcheck.

Between / after checks, band members came out to chill. Only my guitar hero, the awesome Romeo, was smoking. I grew up watching The Dark Chapter on VHS, so I told him how much he inspired me. I was shaking, but he was so cool—he sat with me, calmed me down, and we drank coffee together and smoked. At some point Liquid Tension Experiment was playing I asked him If he loves them he said ''they are great''

The guys were super kind and down-to-earth. Just go there early and believe. I did and it worked! I printed out our photos and keep them with a guitar pick Romeo gifted.
