Backstage Pass
There was a band I really liked playing a sold out show in my town years ago. Not a huge band, but still pretty popular. I looked up their stage manager’s name online, grabbed an old lead cable and crossed my fingers. Knocked on the back door, told security “Pete told me to go grab this for him, said they were short”. They let me in and I got to watch the show from the side of the stage.
