During the stay flared tour stop in Milwaukee I got an awkward photo with jerry hsu right as they were about to leave. I no longer have the photo, but I was squinting in the camera and Jerry’s is holding up the peace sign with a look in his eyes the just screamed “I’m done with these kids” can’t blame him though. Got an awakened photo with Spanky as I’m about a foot taller than he is. I also met Carroll and after saying nice to meet you he says in a slightly sarcastic voice “the pleaseure is allll mine.” Not in a mean way, but he was probably being goofy. Jeremy Leabres, Stevie Perez and Sebo Walker were also very nice. So was Leo Ramero.
These two are not my stories, but my friend who worked at the local shop got a call from Donny Barley when he was working for element, must’ve been our sales rep or something. The conversation went something like this
“Hey this is Donny your sales rep”
“Wait....Donny Barley?”
“..Yep”
“Toy machine/welcome to hell Donny Barley??”
“.....Yeah due....”
Not an awkward encounter, but one of the local older guys met Jason Lee at a 101 demo in Madison Wisconsin in 91 or 92 at the shop flying fish. He and his girlfriend, now wife took him and a couple other team dudes out for Pizza Hut.
