be at ease
I met the band in ‘09 during the ASOP tour. Anders was real zen-like and laid back. They were all really cool, albeit kind of awkward. Niclas was filling in for Jesper, so I got my Passenger album signed.
My brother actually saw Anders on the street and ran up to him screaming his name. I was fucking mortified. But he was cool with it, just zonked out after just waking up on the tour bus. We apologized during the meet and greet and Anders dropped some timeless wisdom: “There’s a time and place for everyfing.” Such Obi-wan.
During the meet and greet my brother asked Anders how he managed to get his dreadlocks so long. “Do you just, like, let them rot?” Anders laughed and was all like “rot??” He cut off his dreadlocks, like, a couple months later. You can thank us for that.
Of all of them, Bjorn was probably the coolest. I told him that he was my inspiration for picking up the guitar, and he was like “I’m so sorry, there are so many better ways to spend your time.”

had the dumbest smile on my face the entire time they were signing my stuff, and was super nervous. I also gave them a burned CD with some covers of their songs on by various people from the Everdying community (an old IF messageboard), plus a few random dance music tracks for my own amusement. I'd even printed a small sheet inside detailing the songs and who had performed them 
as if they were going to listen to that shit.
