I met Kadeem (kind of)
When we were all lined up outside the venue, waiting to get into The Tivoli in Brissy, there was a van that they were opening up the gate for right alonside us. We had to split the line to give them room to drive it up onto the footpath and into that back area.
There was a not-so-short moment of the van just half on the road and half on the sidewalk as they cleared the gate. During said moment I was wondering who the passengers were and presumed they might be disabled patrons who couldn't stand/walk to enter normally.
Nope, turns out the kinda shy bloke I was locking eyes with was the beast himself, none other than Kadeem fuckin' France. When I realised, I got all shy myself and managed a smile and wave.
Got a wave back, so we're tight now 🤣
Anyway, seeing them live was crazy, fuckin' epic night 🤘🏻
