Me (huge smile, casual voice): It's really nice to finally meet you!
TR (looking bored, totally flat voice): *nods* Hi. Nice to meet you.
Then one of his friends whispered in his ear and he went over to hit on Amanda de Cadenet.
I was beyond crushed. (I didn't have any gentlered fantasies; I was just looking forward to chatting.) Driving home, I figured out that I got one word for every year I'd been a fan. I thought about sending him an invoice for all the merch I'd bought and all my travel expenses with a note saying, "the least you could have done was buy me a couple of drinks, asshole" but never went through with it. The whole things is hilarious to me now for so many reasons and it obviously never affected my love for NIN.
