To those lucky ones: can we share our stories of meeting Dan and Patrick? I think this would be cool. It might turn into a competition: Who had the coolest experience?! I will go first but these aren't very cool:
DAN:
I was in Red Rocks Amphitheater, CO, drinking a beer. The show was my two favorite bands of the decade back to back: Black Keys and My Morning Jacket. My friend went off to buy more beer. I looked around and there stood my hero Dan Auerbach looking out into the mountains. I left my spot and went down to see him. There were many things I wanted to ask and tell him but all I could say was "If I had claws I would climb all over these mountains. It's beautiful here, ain't it." He said "I don't think you wanna do that man." Then my friend showed up and said "Hey, it's Dan Auerbach! Let's take a picture." So we did and Dan's eyes were closed in the picture.
PAT:
At the bar at a Drummer show, I was talking to the rest of Drummer and then Patrick appeared and I whipped out my "Famous Drums" T-shirt and pointed to Ringo's Ludwig kit. I said, "Ludwig, man!" Patrick said in a deep monotone "Hell yeah."
This may shock everyone but I know a kid from Ohio who ran into them after a show, and he said they were dicks! I can't believe it.
