Nick Torres is my hero.

This post is simply to declare that Nick Torres, singer and vocalist of Cassino, and formerly of Northstar, is my idol. I am completely and utterly in awe of him.

I got to see Cassino last night, and of course I was blown away. Nick has been one of my favorite songwriters ever since I began really listening to Northstar. Seeing him standing literally a foot in front of me, looking up at him singing... it was amazing.

I tried to talk to him after the show but I was shaking so bad and so nervous that I could hardly say a word. I got to speak to him, though, and that pretty much made my entire life. I also kept the guitar pick he dropped, not to be all teenybopper, but it is just tangible evidence of a great night.





Nick Torres. That's all.
