You mean his Drift-project with Leah? Yeah I met him too on one of those gigs.

Yes, he was very cool at that gig in Belgium. Spoke briefly about the cameras Jef and I were using and got all 20 something DRIFT pages he had used.

My exit was horrible though. I somehow managed to crash through a black curtain into the abyss on the other side with all my gear. I'm sure he giggled.

^^^bahahahahahaha. classic!

"Thanx a lot. Lee you're my hero!"
"No problem, dude"

"ha yeah"

Yeah, something like that. :-)

do they actually come out after the show in the actual venue or just take part in the whole stage door charade?

They send roadies out into the crowd with backstage passes.

I met everyone except Steve before a show in Toronto. Thruston was cool. Kim was kinda distant and didn't really talk to people, but I guess she was friendly enough. Lee came right up to me and a few other people and shook everyone's hand, and was a super nice guy.

I've met all of them a few times and they have always been very accomodating. Kim seems very shy and doesn't say much, and maybe some equate that with being stand-offish, but that isn't really fair. Some people just have that personality.

uh uh uh

I believe he went to this. The performance was for a project called "I Love You I Hate You" with Leah Singer.

I did exchange a few messages with Lee on this board years ago (I was signed under a different username)! I did NOT know it was him, though. We were just discussing some technical guitar stuff, I remember we exchanged messages about our favourite guitar strings. A month of so later, a thread was posted here, in which the band's usernames were informed. And then I found out I had been exchanging messages with Lee, only I didn't know, lol. Steve also messaged me about the show they were about to do in São Paulo, to which I went. He was really nice!

I live in Brazil and have only seen their show once (unfortunately), but I will be at the New York show on July 3rd. I am SO looking forward to it!!! It would be amazing if I could meet the band. I'd certainly force myself to get over my embarrassement and ask for pictures. :)

Cool thing, PuddleS! Hope you're gonna enjoy the NY show!!!

I met Kim, Steve and Thurston outside the park at the pitchfork fest. All very cool and definitely friendly. I wish I could meet up with Lee, someday.

when i see them they come outside wherever they are performing, not milling about inside the place.

I have also received PM's here from Steve, like three of them in fact.
He is super sweet. :)

BTW- In regard to Kim's persona- she is def the most intimidating hardcore lady I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. She was not rude or bitchy, her aura just demands presence. When she walked out of her dressing room from backstage, the entire mood of the room changed; it even went silent for a second, until Thurston continued his talk of his findings at local record store...

Haha. That's hilarious. Steve rules.

maybe she was bleeding under her dress.

I saw Kim walking downtown today in Northampton. She caught a glance of my friend who was "street philosiphizing" on the corner. It was so awesome, I don't think she noticed me tho :(

I was fortunate enough to spot Kim inside of an LCBO (liquor store) just prior to a gig at the Kool Haus in Toronto. Virtually no one else there recognized her or had any idea who she was. I just stood in line behind her in quiet awe. My girlfriend and I walked to the gig with her and tried to refrain from acting like star struck fans, which we were lol

Was she buying Olde English?

Steve approachable.
 

I saw Steve in Phila at Johnny Brenda's on the 'Trees Outside the Academy' tour and he was very kind, friendly, cool, sort of shy.
