On a happier note:
a year ago, I had my disastrous encounter with Maximilian Hecker. I think, that’s one of the funniest (and most embarrassing) things I have ever done, I still don’t know how I had the courage to do it and that with only drinking a coke and no alcohol!
This is what happened:
next, we went to Maximilian to get our things signed. I said to him that he played a real good concert even with the slip-ups. he looks me straight in the eye and starts to stammer. what slip-up did you mean? the big one or the smaller ones. I said the big one, the smaller ones we could simply forget about. I told him that I didn’t see him from where I sat and that it sounded like he was crying and the moment it left my mouth I cursed myself. but he still talked and I couldn’t tell if he was joking or not. it was really awkward. a real foot-in-mouth moment. It reminded me that I better keep my mouth shut when nervous… Did I really just tell Maximilian Hecker, that I think he is a crybaby?!NOOOOOO!! that wasn’t my intention.
my friend made fun of me, that I broke poor Maximilian Hecker. I was joking. wasn’t he? insecurities? where are you tonight? oh- there you are! I missed you! NOT!
at home I started my laptop and went to twitter. I follow him, he follows me too, he follows most of his followers. I send him a DM, apologizing and reassuring him, that it was a very very good gig. 5min later I have a reply: thank you so much for your kind words. love, Maximilian

So, if you are a musician and I should meet you, just interrupt me before I embarrass myself to no end 🙂 Or simply run or find another way to shut me up…
