While working with Youthink from 2001 through 2005...

While working with Youthink from 2001 through 2005, I lived some of my craziest rock journalist dreams à la Almost Famous. But one memory stands out above the rest: meeting my all-time, hands-down, favourite band in the world at the end of my graduating year. What band is that, you ask? Weezer, of course.

After graduating from McRoberts Secondary in 2005, I took the skills I learned at Youthink and channeled them into my position as editor of Grounder Music Magazine at the University of British Columbia. By now, I’ve gone on to meet Weezer a second time and if all goes well with my career plan, it won’t be the last time either.
Congratulations, Youthink, on rocking out for over 10 years! And of course, thanks for letting me interview Weezer even though there was a very real chance that I would faint upon handshake. (But, for the record, I did not faint.)
