Sure, he's a musician first and then a writer/actor/comedian/spoken words-man, but I wanted to meet the author and brought along my copy of one of his books to get his autograph. Joy was about 8 months old and I was still in full post-partum chub and whatever not-so-tattered and spit-upon clothes I could find. As I waited in line to meet him after the show, the stupid lady in front of me asked if she could grope his arse and the two of them chatted a long while about working out and being firm yadda yadda yadda. He also carried on a lot about the "weird vibe" coming from the audience. I suspect perhaps others were there for motives similar to my own? So maybe it's not as bad as being duck woman (wtf is that, anyways? And whose idea was it? They should be smacked with a fish, Mel Brooks-style), but it was embarrassing for me. And I don't embarrass. I once endured the hellish experience of a Rollins Band show to meet the author Henry Rollins.

So we freaked out and drooled a lot and whispered "is that really...???" and "Oh my god!" I've decided to believe that he left because he had to be soemwhere quickly and that he really really wanted to stay but couldn't. He left with a kind word to the girls who served him and a wave. I'm going to post this link to our website so if he happens to look us up he can know the truth. We saw him but we didn’t want to make a big fuss.
