I know, I should have trapped him in there and blocked the door. I did confess that I'd been on an apparent quest to lure all his bandmates out to the desert and abandon them. Since we'd been hosemates with his bassist and then moved, and I'd been trying last summer to get his frontman and his partner to housesit before they moved to Maine.
Come on. You drop by for a cup of coffee, and the world's not ending? Please.

Just remember that to them, you're not some Anonymous Possibly-Dangerous Stalker Fan, but somebody they've had a friendship with for a considerable period, plus, you're a fellow musician. If your office was a Justin Bieber shrine, then you might consider being embarrassed. As it is, you're more like a relative who is Very Proud of their work.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yay Nilly + baby! I was going to ask the other day if she was still preggo, but couldn't figure out the polite way to do that....

Well, actually, the problem was that this was a new relationship. I've known other members of his band for years, but not him. But still. It wasn't that embarrassing, I just realized it after the fact. I think I did embarrass him from stage, when I intro'd the band, but that was worth it, because it was funny and predisposed the audience to him, and he was a good sport about it.

I think I'll visit Nilly in the hospital tomorrow. If you have anything you'd like me to print for her, feel free to send it to my email (I'm not sure about the wi-fi there). Profile addy is good.

Nilly baby! Welcome to the world, little girl! You picked an awesome family.
I've been wearing this shirt
I love that shirt. But I can see your dilemma.

Pix, what Le Nubian said. I know it's disappointing right now, but it was not wasted time. Also, I am convinced that networking is never a bad thing. I've hired people two years after an interview (or getting their resume the first time) because the right thing came along and I remembered them.
This. I have a new person who started this month and she first interviewed well over a year ago, and again over the summer when there wasn't actually an open position. She was very proactive about reaching out and it paid off when a role came open that was right for her.
