Those rock n' rollers - what a bunch of scofflaws!
Brush with greatness! I'm going to see him play tomorrow night in Seattle, glad you didn't break his hand(s).
Crazy ride home tonight, usually my wife trailers our 3.5 yr old to the daycare, leaves the trailer, and I go straight from work to pick her up (and bring her back *up* the hill to our house), but today my wife drove her to the daycare and then had an after-work engagement so I had to go home, get the trailer, and then go to the daycare. A lot more rush-hour exposure to people bustin' loose for the weekend on that little detour.
Also, ran across a friend where she was leaving work. This happens ~monthly, but this time we both had so much momentum in our respective (opposite) directions that we totally didn't stop to talk. Each stopped at the end of our respective blocks to stop and think for a bit but then went on the ways we were going.
