October 1990

You were friends with Krist Novoselic during your high school years. During your senior year, you guys didn’t talk as much and you had started your own band. The Seattle Grunge explosion was just on the horizon, and you knew that playing music and singing was all you ever wanted to do.

One day in October of 1990, you’re now 23 years old and you’re songwriting with your band and your phone rings. It’s Krist Novoselic, and he says that their band, Nirvana, is going on tour and that he wants your band to open for them on the Pacific Northwest leg of the tour. You accept his offer and your band goes into practice mode.

Now it’s the day of the first show, and your band meets up with Nirvana at the North Shore Surf Club in Olympia, Washington. Your spirits are high and your whole band is buzzing with excitement.

Your band performs and the crowd is loving the energy. After the show, Krist tells your band to stick around because he wants to introduce your band to the guys. You all stick around and you and your band sit backstage and plays video games and stuff while you wait.

Later on, you guys meet Dave Grohl and finally, you guys meet Kurt Cobain, the lead singer and guitarist. He’s definitely a bit stoned when you guys meet him, but he’s really sweet. You immediately notice his eyes, and you’re drawn to how blue they are. And you’re drawn to him immediately, as if you’re a moth to his flame.

You guys are complimenting each other on your voices because you’re both the lead singers of your respective bands and as you guys talk, you realize that you’re getting butterflies.

He eventually has to go help load up, and once he leaves, your band’s bassist laughs and teases you for staring at him. She keeps mentioning how you stared at him like a hungry wolf looking at its prey, and you’re so embarrassed. Your cheeks flush and you slap her arm.

But she was right. And that’s when you realize it for the very first time.

You’re in love…
