What's the most "losing my edge"-like accomplishment you can boast?

I helped my roommate lug his electric piano up to Bill Berry's dorm room and sat around while they attempted to jam.

i crashed The Big Bopper's plane

I saw Perfume Genius play at a little basement all-ages venue called the Healthy Times Fun Club, looking somewhat terrified to be performing at all. Several years later saw him commanding a festival stage probably 500 feet from the long-gone venue, looking supremely confident.

I saw the first ever Silverfish gig when they sounded like they had been together for like ages. Camden Falcon.
Also saw fuzz's previous band the In-Stinks quite a few times. Should have taken over as singer.

I saw Nirvana on their first UK Tour a few times, still with Chad Channing drumming

I saw the 2nd Nick Cave & the Cavemen gig. Wish I'd heard about the first one supporting Nina Hagen at the Fridge before it happened.

I saw the London debuts of both Sonic Youth and the Swans not sure how many people did. SY were really p-ed off that they had to go on so early cos the audience hadn't arrived and definitely not the press who were supposed to be coming to see them. Very intense though short set during which i think they blew up a bass amp. Swans supported the Fall at Heaven and i think the bar was in a different part of teh club so I think more people went there rather than face the barrage of sound.

lol Neanderthal

Saw Jewel at the San Diego Music Awards in like 93 or 94

I guess that’s not a coffeehouse.

there are few bands who I was an early adopter of, closest I can get is having seen Dillinger Escape Plan on the Calculating Infinity tour and buying my actual shirt off of Dmitri, but by then they were already a big deal.

I did see Foo Fighters first world tour and met/got Dave Grohl's autograph in 1995, but he was already a well-known star then, and this was well after "i'll Stick Around", "Big Me", and "This is a Call" were all over radio.

if you're a fan of The Drag Race, I knew Ginger Minj before she did drag, and did a production of Grease with them in 2002 (I was Roger, they were Doody).

I saw the first ever Silverfish gig when they sounded like they had been together for like ages. Camden Falcon.

That reminds me I ended up at a party at (I think it was) Fuzz's place on new year's day a while back. Thank for the glass of port, Fuzz.

Also not so long ago I was at a new year's eve thing where there maybe 15 people including me, C0lin Newm4n and M4lka Sp1gel. I don't know them and didn't talk to them so this just sounds creepy. Although I suppose this only really works if it's people you don't know.

This also sounds creepy and I'd met her a few times pre-fame but the future cap'n Phasma wearing something very small and gold in a burlesque club can't help but make an impression.

i don't have any of these, but this happened today:
