Nick Cave Roll Call

[azaghal1981]

I'm starting to feel like I'm the only one here who didn't go backstage.  

[saintangelsin]

Don't feel bad, I didn't get backstage either. I was hoping to, but nope wasn't cool enough. Though I was lucky to get someone from the band's management to go backstage for me and get nick's autograph.
 
 Oh and Samantha, just curious, where do you go to  school? I'm at University of Maryland. Just figured that I'd ask  

[azaghal1981]

Ehh...it doesn't make me feel bad.
 
 I typically like to go to a show, see it then leave. It's just funny that so many people both from here and not from here were able to get back there on one or both nights.
 
 
 Still awesome that you were able to get something signed, though.

Samantha, were you back there? Jeez...are you serious? I guess the evening is more of a blur than I thought, LOL. I'm so sorry that I didn't see you! I was hanging out with a couple of buddies of mine, and then chatting with a couple Bad Seeds. It was a really fun time, lots of people back there.

[Samantha]

Haha yeah I got the feeling you didn't see me, but I don't think I could've caught your attention if I tried!  You were quite the little social butterfly!  But we can meet up anytime, Bad Seeds definitely take priority.  I basically planted myself and if I talked to anyone it's cause they came to my neighbourhood.  I'm such a bum!  You must show us that picture of you and Nick!
 
 saint, I just take a couple classes at NOVA.  Not worth missing Nick Cave over...fuuuuuck.
 
 Oh and sweetcell, it was lovely meeting you too!
 
 Good Lord I want to go to Philly.  I think I've talked myself out of it.

warren ellis looks just like the guy that i give $1 to every week.
 
 great shows. hopefully it won't be six years until the next one.

[sweetcell]

thedirector turned to me and asked, "since when is rick ruben part of the bad seeds?!?"

I understand what you're saying! I had a class last night that I should've skipped, even though it would've been a bad idea (my professor is a hard ass about everything!). I'm now kinda wishing I went to last night's show. If anything, just to meet Nick. I gotta ask, how did you manage to get backstage?

[bearman🐻]

For me it was a friend who played once upon a time with one of the Bad Seeds. Unless I know the band personally somehow or I'm with someone that knows them, I really don't feel like I belong there and it can be awkward to stand around, because that's the band's private space. If they're happy to have people come hang out, then it can be a lot of fun, but it doesn't take much for things to get weird. But every now and then I randomly end up there purely by chance. There was the time Lily and I got invited to hang with the Chemical Brothers and we were the the bright spot in that dressing room, and there were maybe 7 or 8 of us total. You just never know when luck may play into it when you meet someone at a show. It's good to be an extrovert!

[saintangelsin]

Oh I totally know what you mean. Back in September 2006, I somehow ended up backstage with Massive Attack. That happened the first night of their gigs at the club. It was pretty awesome. I just stood outside the dressing room area  upstairs after the show was over. I was hoping to get an autograph and this guy was like "You can come back here and join the party" so I did. Coolest moment for me was 3D pouring me a glass of champagne. We talked for half of the party about music and writing, which was  pretty damn awesome.
 
 I won't lie, I was kinda hoping the same thing would've happened for me Sunday night, but after I got my autographed album cover handed back to me, I chickened out and decided to just go outside where my friend was waiting for me.

Indeed. Sounds as though a good time was had by all.
 
 I've enjoyed Nick's music since The Birthday Party. Good to hear he genuinely still has it goin on and doesn't just phone it in as many of his era do.

nice meeting you to sweetcell and you director
 
 samantha, had i seen this sooner i would've gone with you. of course dont know if we wouldve made it there on time b/c i was in class until 4.
 
 this was my first time seeing them and i am so glad i decided to go both days - they made a new fan
 
 i love that little bearded guy and the way the band yells ready to each other
 
 also thought it was funny that nick would sign stuff between songs

[Darth Ed]

Bearman, that's awesome. I want to see your picture with Nick, too! Also, since you have a copy of the set list, could you post it? Thanks!
 
 I'm glad to hear everyone enjoyed the show(s) so much!
 
 Just out of curiosity, what are everyone's favorite NC&tBS albums? I have them all, but I find myself coming back to "Henry's Dream" the most often. I just love the harmonies on that album.

[Samantha]

Haha Cali it's a good thing you didn't...ugh, it would have been totally irresponsible, I was too tired and can't afford it...BUT THAT DOESN'T STOP ME FROM KICKING MYSELF FOR NOT GOING.
 
 I'm sitting at home moping.
