As much as I would love to meet more people I admire along the line, I'm going to try and be more careful about it. When I say that, I mean that I can't let myself fall into a sort of "fan" category where I'm just a starstruck fan.
It's perfectly fine being starstruck. It's perfectly fine being a big fan and admirer. Hell, I make it pretty public when I love an artists work or them as a person. It's passion, and passion is great! But like I said, I'm in the process of trying to push my artistic resume further. I've stood in enough lines to meet people, but now that time is coming to a close.
I would love more than anything to encounter people I admire in the future. It would be even more gratifying as we may have real conversations rather than quick autographs or pictures. I'm never going to stop buying albums as I see fit or going to concerts. I just want to give my dream a bit more credit. If I had it my way, people would be lining up to meet me, which would obviously be incredible. Nowhere in that way of mine do I see myself in a line like that.
Nothing against it at all, and I encourage it more than anything because it's awesome to meet such successful and interesting people. I'll never stop being a fan to those whose work and/or person I love. But this is the time where I become less of a fan (one who waits in line for an autograph and a quick 5 second conversation) and more of a person who embraces their fans.
