Lauren and the band
I usually don’t post non-art related stuff here but I had to tell you about the Rise Against concert I took my daughter Lauren to on Monday. Last year I contacted their manager about getting my daughter back stage passes to meet the band. I couldn’t believe when I heard back the same day. She got to meet them last year and they were so cool. They actually sat down and listened to her and were very gracious and polite.
Since they are on tour again this year and were coming to my area, I emailed their manager again. She set up a meet and greet before the concert and Lauren gave them a picture wallet of their previous meeting and a letter she painstakingly wrote for the band. They talked to her and posed for pictures. It was so wonderful of them to do that for her. The highlight of the evening was when the band dedicated their last song “Ready to Fall” to Lauren. I thought she was going to jump out of her wheelchair!
That makes me a Rise Against fan forever!
