I met Ben at a signing at Warped Tour ‘06. (I’ve been a fan of Billy Talent since I saw them at their first Warped in 2004 – and bought their CD just because they were amazing.)

I was so nervous to meet him, because his music really has changed my life. But he was very sweet and smiled at my shaking voice, and called me “Dearie” and posed for a photo. I hope I get a chance to talk to him again, because I didn’t get up the courage to say “Thank you.”
