So I used to go with, study for a while, and then grab a drink and catch some tunes, at least when they were playing in town... it was hard to find time to see him.

Anyway, I don't remember why I said his name. I remember the couch he was sitting on, with friends of his on each side. I remember him looking at us like we made the room crowded. I don't remember him saying a word to anyone the whole time, besides to turn his head and say something quietly to someone to send them to do something. He never laughed.

I don't remember why I actually called him by his full name. I only remember the moment after. It must have been during the introduction phase, since he didn't converse the rest of the two hours. If I had to guess, he was introduced as "John" and I said his full name showing that I knew who he was?
