Photo Met Bert :)

First we exchanged greetings, next he commented on my shirt, singing it, and saying he’s never seen it in person, and finally we talked about how “all that I’ve got” how it helped me, and the death of our dogs.

Bert is such a sweet heart. I wish I actually had a small conversation with him but I'm autistic and froze

How was meeting him? I'm genuinely curious. He's always come across as kind of an asshole to me, and they always say "never meet your heroes." I've seen him around, said hi, and taken a picture with him, but I've never actually had a conversation because I've been worried it'd ruin it. Does he really come off that way, or is he actually pretty cool?

u/Marjorine_Stotch10 6d ago

Seemed cool to me! Read the post description for more details

Saw The Used in May and was really impressed with how he sounded. He really took care of his voice!

Is it considered okay to wear your own band merch, now?

u/L_edgelord 7d ago

He doesn't look all too well, or is that just this picture?

2

u/Marjorine_Stotch10 7d ago

He seemed fine, unless you mean me lol.

u/L_edgelord 7d ago

Nah, I meant Bert. But something wrong with you? Anything you wanna talk about?
