I was in New York for a week visiting colleges, staying with my cousin. I was a huge Smashing Pumpkins fan and they happened to be performing during that time at the Roseland Ballroom on their Siamese Dreams tour.  My cousin had a friend of a friend who worked security at the Roseland. He somehow snuck us in with backstage VIP passes and we got to meet Billy Corgan after the show. It was one of the most memorable nights of my life.
