Went early to a Neurotic Outsiders show to get John on my Rio CD insert (I know...) I ask one of my friends have you seen John Taylor? And hes like, he's behind you. I didn't notice this guy was behind me awkwardly close because he was walking and I stopped, so it's already kind of weird. Super nice guy, signed the insert and then he's just standing there next to me, waiting for someone (?) And now I am too (waiting for someone) so were just standing there leaning on this wall and im thinking, say something to him, ask him something cool, but I'm just...blank. So I finally decide to just turn and start talking and I look at him and say..."Uh, thanks John" and he's all "absolutely", shakes my hand and I then walk outside the venue even though I was supposed to be inside. I can't remember if I went back to my car I might be blocking that out due to embarrassment.
