<sniff> Al and the guys are rocking out in Puyallup as I type this. And I'm not there. So to cheer myself up, I dug up this topic.
We've had two summer's worth of American touring and an Aussie tour as well since the topic was started. Surely we have a few more embarrassing stories to share.
I had a dumb momemt (luckily Al didn't know anything about it) when I was backstage waiting to meet him at Puyallup last year.
I had just gotten to go back, and I was standing there amazed by his dressing room door. There was a sign that said "AL" and the door was a little ajar. I wasn't looking in or anything, just standing there doing the deer in the headlights thing because of the sign, but a stage hand closed the door and gave me a dirty look.
It was then, that I noticed I was standing less than 10 feet from The Man Himself.... D'oh!!!
