Um, lemme think.  This was right around the time that Moon & Antarctica came out.  They were in town and the editor of the magazine I write for invited them to a Halloween party we were all going to.  They were all dressed as bums and/or hippies.  They were nice guys, seemed tired and disoriented, though.

A few months after that, I caught a secret show of theirs as SXSW.  I called the bass player by the wrong name, but he was cool about it.  Nice guys.  Honestly, I never really met Isaac or talked to him.

I met David Poe after a show at a club once.  He showed me how to play his song "Reunion", but I've since forgotten.


I would give up to and including three fingers or toes to meet Liz Phair.  Seriously, if I lived near her, I would be stalking her right now.

Hilariously, I met Liz Phair while working at a Barnes & Noble.  She'd just finished selecting a few choice titles from our Self-Improvement section.

She was shorter than I'd expected and not quite as hot.

[Ghostboy]

Nick Cave.

Oh, and The Frogs.

I went to a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles live concert when I was very young and although I did not meet them there, I did meet them some years later at disney world. That's the most I can brag about.

What were they doing at Disneyworld?

I won't give the long list of who I've met (mostly old jazz musicians). But I will say that if Isaac Hayes walked into a crowded restaurant and saw me, he would no doubt sit down for a chat.

That's gangster.

Bow down.
