what's it like living in cities where your favourite bands are also from?

what are some fond memories y'all have about living in/ coming from the same cities as your favourite pop punk/emo bands? for instance, i found out a few of my friends actually got to be a part of the music videos of bands, and would often get invitations to intimate basement shows or just being able to hang out with them etc. i always love hearing stories like these! 🥹
