Was pretty pumped when I was told from Breaking Benjamin's record label that singer Ben was down for an interview. The last couple times the band was in Portland, he wasn't really doing them or even meeting fans. He suffers from an unknown medical condition (which he talks about in the video) that he and doctors still can't pin point. I noticed last night though while watching him greet fans that he seemed happy.

Following the meet and greet, he suggested we go to their dressing room as Sevendust (not a quiet band) was doing their soundcheck. I walked in and immediately got introduced to little Ben, who he said looked exactly like him when he was a baby. Every dressing room is different. The Breaking Ben temporary digs included cookies, candy and beer (not for Ben, he's been booze free since 2007). Also set up, were two XBOX ONE consoles for down time.
