This past Tuesday, singer Steve Means did a concert at my college. He does college tours. My college is a community college and occasionally we get some musical guests. Steve has been to my school before and he was requested to come back.
So Tuesday he was there, and before his set started, I looked at his merchandise table. I forgot to ask my mom to put money in my checking account so I couldn't buy anything. But I signed up for his email list and when I was done, he asked my name and I told him and we shook hands. And I told him that I wished I could buy a CD but my mom hadn't put any money in my checking account for me to withdraw. He said "aww, I know what that's like. Being a broke musician's kinda like being a broke college student." He told me to check out his music on iTunes and I said I definitely would. And then I gave him a hug and he hugged me back.
During his set he talked with us, joked with us, told him to check out his music on myspace, add him on facebook, and follow him on twitter. When he said he had a twitter (my main social networking site), I called up to him and asked him what it was, and so he told us. And then I called back "I will follow you as soon as I get my laptop fixed." And he said "you better follow me and you better get your laptop fixed." During his set I snuck away for a minute so I could go to the computer lab to follow him on Twitter.
When he was done with his set he stuck around for a bit to sign autographs and take pictures. I had a test to take so I had to do my stuff sooner rather than later, but I was willing. I keep a stationary set in my purse and I tore one of the sheets out for him to sign. Unfortunately I had forgotten my camera so I didn't think I'd get a picture with him, but he told Jon, the guy in charge of running the show "Hey, Jon, she forgot her camera at home, do you mind getting a picture of us on a school camera?" And I was spazzing on the inside. The picture turned out really cute. Then I had to go take my test, so I gave Steve another hug and ran off.
Lucky for me the test was pretty easy and as soon as students are done with their tests, they can leave. So I went back down and Steve was still there, so I chatted him up a bit, and told him my Twitter in case he ever wanted to tweet me back, and told him the meaning behind it. And we talked a little more before he had to leave, and when he did I told him to come back to my hometown. He said he would, that it was nice to meet me, and to take care. Then I gave Jon my email address so he could email me Steve and I's picture together and then went to catch the bus. Steve drove past me in his car and we waved at each other.
Tuesday was one of the best days of my life, thanks to Steve Means. He was just SO nice and fun and talented and I really hope he comes back here someday and that I can go be in the front row.
