How I met Weird Al (Alfred Mathew) Yankovic

I met Weird Al back stage at one of his shows. We managed to convince him to meet us later to chat and have dinner. It also turned out that his girlfriend was one of my mother’s regular customers at the store she owned at the time. Al turned our to be (not to surprisingly) a nice guy, and it was really cool getting to talk with him (I was young and he was one of my favorite artists at the time). He also later sent my sister and I a signed box set of most of his music, a signed picture and some other memorabilia. It was a good time.

How I met George Carlin

I went with my father to see George Carlin in Las Vegas. My dad and I have always been big fans, so my dad decided to write him a letter to that effect and give it to his stage staff before the show. In the middle of his act, George stopped, took out the letter, read it on stage and told my dad and I to come see him after the show. We ended up back stage talking with him for about fifteen minutes, and he’s a really nice, normal guy. It was great getting to meet him.
