Andrew and fans @ Cola Roxy, 2018

“Circa 2018 my best friend and I went to see them play at Cola Roxy in ATL. Never have seen a big artist before, and MGMT was my first. After the show we waited for the guys to come out for the meet and greet, and I was suuuuper nervous. Andrew was the first to come out, and stated to everyone that he had a dinner to go to so he didn’t want to take pics with anyone to save time, but he did signatures. He got to me, and before I asked him to sign my metanoia vinyl, I said “hey, I just want to let you know that y’alls music has been so important to me” (something along the lines of that, but much more awkward) and Andrew said something in return equally as awkward and it made me feel better knowing one of my favorite artists was as awkward as me lol
He ended up taking pictures with folks in the crowd anyway, and although I wanted one, I was gonna keep walking away satisfied with my little exchange of words and signature. But my friend, and this other girl who claimed to “know them really well” called me back over. They were already next to Andrew who was ready for a photo saying “come back and take a photo! Come onnnn (my name)!” And I said “nooo it’s okay, I promise” and then Andrew said “comeonn (my name)” with the biggest smile and I couldn’t say no to that.
Sorry if this story is all over the place, I’m pretty tired right now, but I just wanted to share it along with your story because that single moment meant the world to me. He is such a kind soul, and I know he probably doesn’t remember me, but I’ll never forget it. (:
