I feel kind of blank right now because I am just so shocked.

I waited for this show for a while and after getting pissed off at ticket prices consistently changing and whatnot, i was finally able to make it out to see Dot Hacker and Cedric Bixler Zavalaz's new band, Zavalaz.

Due to sound problems, it took the bands a while to set up. Jonathan of Dot Hacker took the time to read my Facebook posts in the meantime. Finally the band came out! Josh was going crazy. the audience didn't really come for Dot Hacker so a few people actually moved around and sang along. Afterward, i asked josh for the setlist and he gave me one with a smile

Zavalaz then took the stage. Josh sat on the side of the stage right next to me, and I proceeded to panic. Turns out he helped tune their guitars in between songs. Guy got kicked out for starting a moshpit but all was well. josh helped them pack up and he spotted me out of the audience to give me another setlist, which I found to be so thoughtful. i asked to speak to him after the show and he agreed.

Jonathan spoke to me in the meantime for he recognized me. We spoke and discussed Josh's shyness (which even his own bandmate can't understand apparently! haha). Josh came back to me and gave me a hug. he noticed how famished and dehydrated i was so he gave me water.

After lots of tears and stammering, I managed to get a photo with him. my dreams are coming true and i got to meet one member of my favorite band.
I highly suggest you catch their last few shows if you're on the west coast. It's one thing to see josh on stage with the peppers, but another thing to see him up close fronting his own band. It's hypnotic to see him flail around and scream.

i look ugly and shiny as hell but it was worth it. i'd like to thank josh for the hugs and water. best day ever.

Nice...It seems to me that Josh is very humble and appreciates his fans. I dont know why so many artists are ego maniacs who wont give their fans the time of day, but its nice to see Josh isnt one of them..Ive seen alot of bands and there are only a handful that show this kind of appreciation to their fans. He just moved up a few notches in my book...Its a very nice pic of you and Josh..Seems like you had an awesome time at the show and some great memories of meeting Josh...
