Actually, you know how when you met a real hot chick, you always say something stupid? That's how I was tonight. He's signing an autograph for me, and the conversation goes like this:
Me: Incredible presentation, i really enjoyed it. Thank you for coming.
Brian: (says thank you or glad you liked it). Then reaches out to shake my hand.
Me: I saw you 30 years ago.
Brian: Oh Yeah, where?
Me: You were playing at the Forum.
Brian: Oh, nice.
Me: That was a long time ago.
Brian: Yeah, well...
Then i walk away telling myself, "he's a fricking astrophysicist--he knows how long ago 30 years was." My daughter was right when she told me "you're such a dork."
