Ben Shepherd was sitting with his family and crew. We stopped by to say hi, Meghan bought him a drink, and we ended up sitting with him for photos (which his family members took) and a brief talk.
A few minutes later, we noticed a fan in a Soundgarden shirt and helped introduce him to Ben, which then turned into us and a couple other fans hanging out with Ben in front of the hotel for about another 3 hours
Hiro and his wife joined us as we were talking with Ben in front of the hotel. We took a few pictures and Hiro signed our Rock Hall program. He also talked with Ben for a bit before leaving

Prior to our Ben Shepherd adventure, Meghan met Mike McCready and I very briefly met Susan Silver & Lily Cornell (not pictured)
Before the show got started, Meghan had a chance to meet and talk to André 3000 of Outkast.
She also gave him a hug, which resulted in this moment [in the video clip] during Outkast’s acceptance speech as Big Boi removes a Meghan-hair from Andre’s beard
