I have met my share of people, and generally, I find that if you speak to them in a down-to-earth manner, that's your best bet.  But, there is simply no way to predict what kind of mood someone will be in when they get offstage.  Maybe they felt like the show sucked. Maybe their monitor mix was crappy.  Maybe they just got in a fight with a girlfriend/boyfriend. Maybe they just don't want to talk.  None of this should matter, but it does.

I talked to Ari about his guitars and amps, and he seemed to warm up to that.  I don't think I asked him a single VC question.

Skye is always approachable and pleasant.  I was able to suggest a good place to get some records pressed, and he ended up using them.

It doesn't matter where the players rank in the bigger scheme of things, either.  Last year, I had dinner with a renowned session guitar player who is on millions of records and worked with, among others, John Lennon, Paul McCartney, Alicia Keys, Aretha Frankin and Billy Joel.  What broke the ice?  When I asked him if he liked the movie "Pulp Fiction".  Go figure.

I work with musicians (mostly guys) all the time for various reasons, and it's like having a bunch of girlfriends......but no sex.  They can be weird, high maintenance, uncompromising, remote, dismissive, self-obsessed.....urghhhh.

It's hard not to take a diss personally, but it really could have been a misunderstanding.

My day job is in TV; the rest of the time, I play music for fun, and to make some extra bucks.  When I am playing for people, it's fun.  Dealing with band members, club owners, studio engineers, and other musicians?  Not always! :)
