So I once got the opportunity to see Júníus Meyvant live in New York. It was a very intimate gig and me and my boyfriend at the time, with whom I'd listened to Floating Harmonies on repeat during a roadtrip in Scotland, had front row seats. Junius was everything I expected him to be funny, talented, relaxed, throbbingly cool. After the set we got the opportunity to go up and say hi. I giggled like a fool to everything he said. Far from the profound and grateful words I'd imagined saying to him. Dejected I carried on drinking. Then, coincidentally, we ended up in the same bar as him and his band later that night. Now, confidence artificially elevated, I sauntered up to him and tapped his shoulder and said "Hi Júníus, I'm Júníus". I'm not. My name is Dylan. I backtracked and tried to save face, telling him that I had come all the way from Ireland to see him. To which he replied "Wow, very cool". I then had to clumsily explain that no, I'd actually come to visit my cousin, but that he was great. In the end I gave up, turned to the bar and ordered two shots of tequila. For me. You know the saying "don't meet your heroes"? Well don't meet your fans, because they might be me.
