I got to meet him at the El Rey in Los Angeles back in 2006. I was standing on the side of the stage waiting for the show to start. He comes down from the dressing room and stands next to me waiting for the lights to go on and the stage curtains to open up. I introduced myself and told him how grateful I was he came to play. He was very sweet, asked me my name. I told him I was a big fan and look! I even had a pin on my jacket that was made for 9. He leans in and looks at it and goes "What? I don't even have one of those!" I asked him if he wanted it and he said yes. I took it off and handed it to him and he put it in his corduroy jacket and then the curtains opened and the lights hit the stage and he walked out to a thunderous audience.
