Jesus, I swear my sleep was impacted, so bad was the anxiety after you teased the heading of this post last night on Stories! 😅 I’m so sorry that you’ve been left with this icky feeling after what should have been a purely joyous evening. I ran the same scenario through my head on Sunday after I saw the show and contended with what I would do if I had the chance to meet him, knowing how anxious he is about his fame. The passion is hard to contain! But wow, am I relieved that the twist in this tale is *not* that he is an a**hole 🙏
enjoyed (and cringed) reading this! i'm an off-menu fan and i love Acaster but can totally see how he'd be shy offstage. I feel for you, I know that feeling of 'oh god' after an interaction like that.
i was going to say that I haven't come face-to-face with any of my heroes but I now remember meeting Elvis Costello and John Darnielle after their shows, and having a nice exchange. But that's when they were doing merch table meet-and-greets, so there was an expectation on both sides of 'I AM A FAN'.
I shudder to think how I'd act if I came face-to-face with Bruce Springsteen.

He was SO nice and gentle and lovely but it was me that left feeling like I intruded 😰😰
I really enjoyed this Aisling. Not your agony, obviously, but I enjoyed how relatable it was! This is why we can't have nice things!
Thanks love! The icky feeling is starting to abate today, thankfully 😅
Ah well. I wonder about his colour and number. If it was then you are good 👍 👌

I still cringe when I think of it!! Thanks for reading x
