:lol: Awesome, Dave!
I love the look on the barista's face. Was he actually annoyed or was he playing along?

Have you seen this one I took of Anna Canada at the actual Coffee Bean on San Vicente?

:lol: I want so badly to believe that the barista had no idea what was going on.

I had not seen that pic of Anna Canada, that is great! :lol:

The barista was both playing along (we tipped him) and had no idea what was going on. Good times.

A perfect night! Starbucks was fun... We also had a waiter at dinner who was an old school Al fan.

Oh yeah! He knew the proper name for his favorite song (Theme from Rocky XIII) and everything.

The barista was great. Jackie gave him this whole explanation and he was basically all "I have no idea what you just said, but I will humor you guys." :lol:

Well, at least someone got proper photos. three a song? With a photo pass from the band?? :blink:

Last time we were at the Beacon, they totally did not care about photos at all--I had a guy ask me once if I was filming (I was tracking Al across the stage for something) but I said no and he left me alone. Wonder why that changed.

He was probably trying to restrict Fred to the first 3 songs, which is typical with a press pass.
