I was recently assigned a story assignment for Fordham's newspaper, The Observer. In the assignment, I was asked to cover our Spring Weekend which featured headliners MGMT. I was able to get backstage and hang out there for their entire set. Later on, I had the chance to meet Ben Goldwasser and get an interview with Andrew VanWyngarden and drummer Will Berman. The experience was undoubtedly memorable and I am truly grateful. The guys of MGMT were more than friendly; VanWyngarden met and signed every little thing students had for him. He didn't leave until everything and everyone was signed and happy. Although Ben couldn't do an interview at the time because of his hounding stage manager that kept hovering over me, he was very polite and soft spoken and apologized for not being available to do one. The following is the article I wrote, published in the newspaper and posted online. Hope you enjoy.
