A MO dream - what's your first memory?

I had a dream last night that I got tickets to some sort of intimate (100 tickets) MO show with current line up + Chris Freeman on keys. There were multiple stages and the band would move between songs and the crowd would peacefully migrate so everyone got to experience front row and some point. There wasn't a set list, Andy just played songs he wanted to play and took various request. They explained inspiration behind lyrics and memories from tours and recording for each song, and just had random drinks between songs and very casual conversation with attendees about their experiences with the band. Robert did a gear breakdown for everyone, and then Andy asked everyone to share their first Manchester Orchestra memory and why they were attending that concert, and genuinely listened to each response while taking notes. He then shared the stories we're for a project he was working on called "gifts."

The bands down to earth tendencies made its way to my dreams...

Also - what is everyone's first interaction/memory of Manchester Orchestra?

I'm pretty sure mine was in 2005/06 and MO recently released Brilliance Needs A Good Editor. I went to a small local show and they were one of the opening acts. I think they were opening for Jonezetta - who didn't show or were incredibly late. It was a weeknight and barely anyone was there. Afterward I met Andy and we talked for a minute and he seemed so genuinely grateful for people to be there on maybe a Tuesday night and that I liked their music. On the ride home my buddy asked why I bought their EP and I replied, "cause they're gonna be huge."
