[Beat Surrender]

I have a funny brief story: it was the Beacon, I'm thinking '05 but maybe it was '06? I was sitting right near a side entrance to backstage, and of course there was a security guard there. I'd spoken to the security guard earlier, which is relevant. The support was on and I notice a figure come from somewhere else and stand in the little alcove near the backstage door to watch the support, then try to go backstage. I knew the figure was Damo, and then saw that the guard wasn't letting him back! They seemed to be having a little conversation, and Damo looked quiet and maybe only a little flustered, and my gut said he didn't have his backstage pass. I got up and went up to the guard and said "Are you not letting him back?" and he said "He doesn't have a pass", so I said "Well, he's the main guy, the headliner, so you may want to let him back..." and so the guard let him pass. I found it VERY funny that I helped Damo get to his own, headlining backstage LOL!
