I found this through the fabulous Reddit chat. It's been a long, long LONG time since I spent any time around the fan thing, and I am hopelessly optimistic that it can be nice and fun again. The "Thank You, Keanu" bit is wonderful. I'm just damned happy to be here, to support a guy who seems to be a real sweetie and a great artist at the same time.

I read a bunch of the "Thank you, Keanu" posts - beautiful. It makes me so happy. Bless you all for being here! :-)

I've been a fan since around 1995, probably not that unusual. have been to my fair share of Dogstar concerts, have been around when it's been fun, when it's been weird and for awhile when it was kind of awful. If you've been around since then, you probably know of which I speak. Now I am hopeful again, and thrilled by the new directions of Keanu's career.

At the risk of replying to myself yet again, I should say that some times have been amazing. Pretty delightful to spend any time at all around someone as generous and kind as Keanu. So as not to be misunderstood, I just mean going to Dogstar concerts and seeing how sweet Keanu was with fans.

MmeRenard, would you like to share some of these old Dogstar memories? We are always interested in and enjoy those stories.

I will. I don't share them all that lightly, since that is one of the things that made "fandom" unpleasant for me. Unfortunately, there was some degree of jealousy and bickering that were not at all pleasant. I think that this is a different place. I will say this much - from my own experience at Dogstar concerts, Keanu is a gracious, kind and generous man. Just seeing him interact with fans was pretty lovely. It would have been nice if more fans had adopted similar graciousness. Some did, some did not. Everything that I have seen of Keanu as his fame and stature has increased is perfectly consistent with the genuinely decent person I saw all those years ago.
