Brush With Fame

So, Lin and Larry Pardey came into West Marine on Sunday, asking if they could film some stuff in our store. I graciously helped them get setup, but was unfortunately too busy with customers to actually be in their film, as they requested. One of the girls that was supposed to work that Sunday took off sick. Sigh... They were there for a few hours, taking up the entire book aisle (or is that isle), but whatever. The funny thing I found was that they pulled up in a big truck with a nice, big camper shell on back. I guess that's how they cruise by land. Kim asked why I didn't ask them to sign a book. Sigh...

Talk About Fragile...

So, Chuck and I babysat Yes for their Rockline interview. During two-thirds of the show, I was running three blocks to pick up Sauvignon Blanc or creamer for their tea. They refused to sign the albums that Kim and I had purchased at Amoeba Records in Berkeley. Chris Squire was too busy pounding wine and waiting for his cab. I don't know what Steve Howe's problem was, but Carl Palmer was pissed there were no ELP albums. It was a Yes/Asia show. Sigh... Anyhoo, had fun and helped Chuck out of a jam. I told him on the elevator on the way down that at least it makes a good story. BTW, I now get a bad taste in my mouth when I hear Yes on 107.7 The Bone...
