Carlos – “Super Fan” Meets the Band
This is Carlos, one of the band’s “super fans” from Mexico. Cheap Trick is Carlos’ favorite band and for his 15th birthday, his parents and brother decided to drive him from Mexico to the Tucson show so he can attend his first Cheap Trick concert. When we found out about this, we invited them backstage to meet the band, and Carlos got a mini-tour of Rick’s road guitars. Happy Birthday Carlos! (Special thanks to Lily Seleme for contacting Carla about Carlos and his family)
