Fantastic stories all around... You gotta love the "Sexy Man" and frozen fans stuff. Dammit we're a dedicated bunch aren't we?
As for the question about why I felt like an idiot after meeting Gord... I had been waiting about a month to actually meet the dude, and needless to say he'd been my Rock God since I was 12.
But when the moment actually presented itself (He was just standing in the back of the wharehouse getting touched up) I walked up, without introducing myself, or saying ANYTHING for that matter, (I guess it was nerves) and just stuck my hand out. I could have at least said something clever, but nope, we just looked at each other. He thinking: "Do I know you?" And me thinking: "God, DO I KNOW YOU!" It could have been smoother I guess. And then when I did finally say something... it was super corny.
That's why I felt like a dork, but hey, I'll never forget it, and it certainly made me realize that he was right: There is no dress rehearsal, in life you get one shot to make it good... I made it corny. :thumb:
