[@AAAMANDA]

I’ll never forget being at Warped Tour 2007 in Vancouver Canada. I was a huge Paramore fan. Their performance was amazing. I was stoked I got to see them live. So anyway, after they preformed I was just hanging out back on the lawn somewhere, and all of a sudden the ENTIRE band just walks right in front of me.. like they were just out and about checking out merch tables and walking around. No security or anything. I could not believe people weren’t running up to them asking for pictures or autographs. The “RIOT!” Album came out literally the week before, and I think they hadn’t fully leaped into stardom yet (they did soon after!). Anyway, I pleaded with my friend to come up with me and ask for a picture, but she wouldn’t 😩. I knew I’d never forgive myself if I didn’t do it, so I awkwardly ran over to them and asked for a picture. They were SO INCREDIBLY KIND and each of them gave me the time of day and wanted to know what I thought of the show, how long I’d been a fan, etc.. they were so personable and seemed so grateful to be approached by a fan. It wasn’t long after that they started blowing up on the main stream scene. It was so cool following their career after that and watching how successful they became. Even now with all their fame they just seem like the type of people who are just as humble now as they were then. *Paramore =* ❤️ 🤘🤘

[@jamescurfman3284]

Good people like that fully deserve to be successful and wealthy and, if they want to be, even famous. :)
