Funny story:
A couple years back, I took my daughter to a Long Beach Shortbus show up in Placerville of all places. Anyway, after the show, we walked around the back of the hall, and there's Eric Wilson, standing in the parking lot all alone, smoking a fatty.
My daughter says "I want my picture taken with Eric!", so I tell that's her that's cool but that she's gotta go and ask him if it's okay. So she gets her courage up, walks over and asks "Can I have my picture taken with you?"
He looks down at her, scowls, and says in a booming voice "FUCK NO!". Her face just fell.
And then he smiled, laughed, and and says of course you can. He put his arm around her and smiled while I took a few pictures that she'll always treasure, and hell, I'll treasure them too. I got to meet one of my heroes, got to share it with my daughter, and I have the pics to prove it.
