A few years ago I went to Anime Los Angeles where Brats was playing at and after the concert, which was pretty good, although the experience was pretty lame considering the venue had the audience sitting in chairs, perhaps that is in line with the events that followed. After the show there was an autograph signing with the band. I was just as excited about the autograph signing as I was about seeing them live. It was their first American performance and they were a band I was really starting to get into, mind that Anime Los Angeles takes place in Los Angeles California and I traveled all the way from Florida to get to the show, the details of the trip to the show are quite interesting if anyone wants to know including sleeping in a garden shack and cooking vegetables in a coffee maker, just so I could see them perform. Anyways, I am in line after just seeing the great show they put on. However, when I finally got to them, the reception I got from them was pretty cold and dismissive. I've been to many concerts over the years and have gotten to have great interactions with band members, including when trying to get autographs from them, so it was quite strange for me when I got to the members of Brats and they acted as if I wasn't even there. Aya, the bass player I guess, signed my book but was staring at the ceiling the entire time. Hinako, which was the lead guitarist if I am correct, was had her face planted into her phone while I stood there awkwardly trying to say hello for several seconds(man was that embarrassing), and when I finally got to Rei I was able to work up the courage to say how well they did and she pretty much ignored me. I was wondering if anyone else has had similar experiences with either them or other bands/groups like them. Is this a normal thing? I'm not trying to complain but it has just been kind of bugging me over the years because I enjoy their music and have been trying to keep tabs on them since then but the cold dismissal that they treated me with makes me wonder about their character and how I should seem them. I mean they seem like decent people but you know how people will display one thing for their work that is different from who they actually are.
