i recently worked project 86's merch table. i'm not a huge project fan (i have one cd that i think they gave me the last time i worked their table) but i know who andrew schwab is, and let's be honest, does anyone care about anyone in the band but him? not so much.
so i got to the table as they were setting it up and met mr. schwab, matt the drummer, shook hands with a fill-in guitarist whose name i can't remember and saw cody from the wedding (he was filling in on bass- i already knew him). i was filled in on prices and the special sale of the day as hordes of project fans started crowding around to buy stuff and get andrew to sign it since he was conveniently standing there. out of the corner of my eye i saw him sign one of his books, take a picture and walk away as i was grabbing someone a tee in their size. as i was holding up the shirt and about to ask, "this alright?" (in reference to the size of the tee) i felt a hand on my shoulder and hear a voice in my ear say, "you okay if i leave?"
thinking i was alone behind the table i did the very girly thing of screaming really high and really loud upon realizing i was, in fact, not alone behind the table. yep, i screamed right in andrew schwab's face. everyone stopped and it got real quiet. i felt awesome. and turned bright red.
thankfully he just started laughing and said he'd be back later. true to his word he came back later. and waved at me from about 20 feet back so i'd see him coming and when he finally reached the table said, "i wanted to make sure you saw me, i didn't want to scare you again." thanks andrew, you sure are a swell guy.
