A story about Colin Meloy
I love the Discemberists and Colin Meloy seems so cool!
I was at the Arcade Fire concert in Portland, on 5.27.07, and before I went into the venue I saw Colin Meloy stand not two inches in front of me. I could have touched him and my elbow would still have been bent; that’s how close he was. But I didn’t talk to him so I don’t think it counts as “meeting.” I’m still kicking myself for not saying anything. The Decemberists are my third-favorite band.
I met him after a Decemberists show in San Diego. My sister pinched his cheek and called him “cute”
My friend Will went to high school with Colin Meloy, so he introduced me to him back when The Decemberists were playing little bars.
