We Are Scientists

I was at a live performance of theirs (opening up for Arctic Monkeys) at the Roseland Theater in Portland, in May of 2006. Near the end of the concert I was getting tired so I went over to the left-hand wall to lean against it. Sometimes I would lean and sometimes I wouldn’t, and once when I wasn’t leaning I saw Keith Murray pass behind me to go backstage, then he came out again, and after the concert was over I passed by Keith and looked over to him (he’s hot, what do you expect, I’m not made of stone) and he saw me and smiled and waved, so I went over and there were a bunch of other people there and when he got to me I was a complete dork and got tongue-tied, and we shook hands, and all I could think of to say was “You guys are good,” and he grinned and said “Thank you very much!” Unfortunately I didn’t get an autograph or picture and I’m still kicking myself for that. I didn’t meet the other two band members.
