Picture I took when I got to stand side stage for Paramore September 2010 at the arena I saw my first concert ever at thirteen years prior. Most surreal moment of my life to be getting to see the show from my favorite band’s perspective, and see how much their fan base had grown since I first saw them in a 200-capacity club just four years earlier. Looking out to thousands and thousands of excited fans, I just felt it in my heart that this is the most rewarding feeling in the entire world. To watch a band that you believe in so much achieve their goals and touch so many people’s lives is such an incredible feeling. I hope so badly that ten years from now I’ll be right back on that stage looking out at a band I helped get to that point.
I also hope I will be surrounded by people who truly appreciate their fans and those who work for them like Paramore does. They gave back to me so much and really gave a damn about me, especially Josh, and I will always love them for that and for showing me exactly why I want to work in the business.
