Well Jon did recognize us. I can't remember if he knew our names or not, but our faces range a bell with him. He definately knows us by name now, but I can't remember if he did then. He told us about being a spokes person for "Impact" and what they sell, and he gave us a brochure that had a pic of him (Or as he says "some skinny guy with hair" it was on old pic) in it. He told us that 2 other Al fans were roaming around (I suck because I can't remember their names at the moment). We talked a little about different celebs that were hanging out at the show and we took pictures with him. That's all I can remember at the moment. It was a 2 day trade show, and I saw so much that I thought my head would explode.

And that's exactly the reason I don't ever expect to see Al at my place of employment (not counting the pic of us together that's stuck to my very own drawer of the file cabinet).

BTW, for anybody who was worried, Jerry Brown was a witness, not a defendant.
"Weird Al" has a charisma that's all his own. The awkward, the misshapen, the socially inept flock to his banner.

When Al was in Australia one of my friends told me that they had seen him shopping in a supermarket. I got really annoyed until i thought to ask what he actually looked like. It seems that he looked like "big hair, moustache, glasses" Al, so it must have been just a look-a-like, and why would Al be shopping for food while on tour anyway??

4 words that Al said to me that blew me away:

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

So awesome!

I just ran into Al also! I was at the Puallup Fair last September in the bleachers with a ton of other people and Al stepped out onto the stage and performed for his roaring fans! Can you belive it? :lol:

Hey, I was there too! Imagine my surprise when Al stepped out on stage! Especially since I had driven 6 hours to see him.
