Haha, yep saw them in Athens, Georgia, several years ago. Not a fan of the B-52s, but the Athens music scene is great.

My job was incredible. I was able to meet one-on-one all sorts of actors and musicians. My favorites were Natalie Portman (hung out for awhile), Faith Hill (was one of like 2 people during her rehearsals, hung out in her dressing room, happily fetched some mint tea for her), and Ray Romano (got to go to his parents' house with him and his family).

I took it for granted at the time.
