hehe, Chris Hardwick's Mom, who calls herself @NerdistMom, follows me on twitter. She's a trip!
4 words that Al said to me that blew me away:

"How's Problem Child doing?" - 7/12/11

So awesome!

Not so lame but about 12 years ago I got a recorded message from Michael Jackson. I think I still have it on my old PC somewhere. At least I hope I do!

Oh and when I was a kid in hospital I met Cobra from the Gladiators (UK). He signed his autograph for me but I was still recovering from my anaesthetic so I don't remember it at all! :lol:

So I was a crazy fan back in the day! :S Some friends and I did a demonstration in London during his latest 'accusations'... Anyway he was meant to come but they took away his passport so he couldn't travel to be with us. Instead he sent a recorded message to say thank you etc.

My friend Ara Kourchians (with whom I attended my first Al concert way back in '07, not long after we graduated high school) was on the restoration team for the DeLorean from Back to the Future and featured in this upcoming documentary.

I recently got a few Twitter DM's from Nicholas Megalis, aka the "Gummy Money" guy on Vine (and one of my favorite people)!

I was in about two dozen ESPN commercials and an issue of Sports Illustrated in 1996. I'm a minor actor and also have a series of children's horror books about squirrels getting into spooky adventures.

Found out today my father and his old band appeared on Entertainment Tonight once.

I wonder if he knows John Tesh...... :lol:
You have quickly thought up such matchless phrase?
