I use to stutter and have a hard time getting words out...then it went to super speed talking and now it's a normal coversation tone almost...except that I babble.

Then again, who doesn't babble?

*raises hand*

I didn't babble in front of Al either of the two times I met him. But I did get that "pinch me" feeling when he put his arm around me at AlCon. *sigh*
4 words that Al said to me that blew me away:

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

So awesome!

My wish is to be Nina's babysitter, since I'm normally from CA and my uncle lives in Pacific Palisades, so I'd drive to his house, then have relatively easy access to Nina from my uncles's house!

What's really cool about this anecdote, is that Al had a reaction, and isn't just making bored noises to pretend he's paying attention when he does the meet n greets. He was actually (from what Driew told me) touched that we had made a temporary AL shrine on the great wall o' gum. Since the person who gave him the pic wasn't hanging around for the reaction, it shows me that the reaction was genuine.

Whattaguy. Is it any wonder we adore our boy?

Actually, I don't really blather any more, what I do instead is my impression of the Drive-By Blurter fan. I think I'm just too scared of Skip (and Skip is a nice guy!) to even try lingering in Al's presence. It was pretty bad when I gave Al a copy of a photo last summer and it was Driew, behind me, who saw the look on Al's face. I didn't even stick around to catch Al's reaction.

I was in awe and giggly the first time I met him. Had him sign my forehead. After that, it's like talking to one of your friends. I spoke of the Halloween 99 show the 2nd time I met him, and he recalled it very well.

Summer 03, I shook his hand, welcomed him back to Maine-- and we jabbered about his spill on stage, and I gave him some floaty pens to add to the collection.

Once you meet him, you see how honestly 'real' he is, and it's like saying hi to a friend, or a buddy from high school you havn't seen in a while.

I don't know if I'd describe him as a "buddy" but you're right, he is remarkably easy to talk to once you get past the first meeting. He has a way of making you comfortable.

I wish there was a good karaoke CD of Al's originals.
