Billy

That day was the greatest day I’ve ever known.

During the summer of 2010 when I had three brain surgeries, the Smashing Pumpkins decided to grace our town with an epic performance at one of our smaller venues. It had been my dream since the Make-A-Wish foundation asked me what I would want when I was 13 to meet Billy, the lead singer of my favourite band of all time. I seized my opportunity, having brain surgery just 14 days before the show, to make a poster and a spectacle of myself to gain his attention in an attempt to meet him and get his autograph. I am very, very, very pleased to say that my poster, combined with my scars and stitches, was enough to get me backstage.
