So seeing Ronde Barber possibly or possibly not having a tryst in a Scottsdale eatery was not my only brush this weekend. Was at the Lucero concert in Los Angeles Monday night and who walks in and stands in front of me but Mark Boone Junior (possibly best known as Bobby from Sons of Anarchy). He proceeded to get quite lit and was having a fun time dancing with some ladies for the last few songs of the set. (Much like the rest of the crowd at the show. So he's obviously not some kind of fake Lucero fan.)

So I have watched Sons and for the last few episodes they have filled the back end of a 2 hour block with a really poorly done live afterwards show. I thought he was loaded or high on live TV. Turned the after show into a complete train wreck. It was great. Watching Mark Boone Junior on that after show gives me a picture in my head of how he would be at a concert....

I didn't see that aftershow (my DVD is all weird about recording Sons now because of it because for some reason FX isn't making it a separate show like AMC does for Talking Dead, but whatevs), but I can imagine and I can tell you that he was probably carrying himself about exactly as you are thinking. He was very garrulous, but not loud and obviously having a good time. Seems like he would be a great guy to party with.

That was so uncomfortable.

From Afterwords last week,...
Charlie Hunnam was in a swamp favorite movie...Green Street Hooligans. He tried to get the guy who played Chibs on the movie by going to the bar he hung out at ever night until he showed up. Something clearly happened that caused Chibs to not be on the movie which was not said during the interview.
Comic Con was a mess because they oversold by like 5000 tickets and the fire marshal had to close the convention center. Chibs went outside to have a cigarette and they wouldn't let him back in.

I was gonna dig up this thread, but Steve beat me to it.
I went to my son's middle school basketball game tonight. I had a meeting, so I got there a bit late. About 15 minutes after I got there, another fan showed up late - Coach K. He sat about 5 feet from me. Apparently his grandson is on the team that beat the hell out of my son's team.
Say what you will about the guy, but I was pretty impressed that he found time to attend his grandson's game at this time of year. You know he's busy as hell.
This is a near brush, not a brush. When I was at Tired Hands (Ardmore, PA) the other day, one of owners/managers went up to a bartender with two pint glasses and said "these are for John Spencer of the John Spencer Blues Explosion ... if he really does stop in" and they both seemed kind of incredulous but not quite doubting it*. Not sure if he did.
* I think the story is one of the owners is friends with Will Oldham, so another musical connection isn't really all that unrealistic.

Not really a brush, more like a third degree of separation. I just found out that the daughter of an old friend of mine is married to NBA player Channing Frye.
I wouldn't have noticed him, except all of the sushi chefs gave him a big hello when he walked in the door. I turned to look, and he was out shortly thereafter to eat his sushi at home. He's quite dreamy.
Until everything is less insane, I'm mixing weed with wine.

You had a better shot at getting Aikman.
She hates those jokes so bad. It was the day of game 4 of the Rockets/Mavs series and this was right at American Airlines Center, so I told her "I think he heard Beard was at AAC and ran down there as fast as he could."

Saw Barles Charkley today. Not for the first time, either. I gotta hand it to the guy--when he is in town for the studio show he actually hangs out on the streets and mingles with the general public. It's exactly what you would imagine.
Tom Brady's agent, when he was a teenager, was batboy for the Sacramento AAA team. My legion team played a game prior to one of their games.
That give me four people I've brushed who have been in the national news in recent weeks (Vitali Klitschko, Mayor of Kiev; Ben Carson, presidential candidate; Yanis Varofakis, Greece Finance Minister.) I'm on a roll.
Who knows? Maybe, you were kidnapped, tied up, taken away and held for ransom.
Those days are gone forever
Over a long time ago
Oh yeah…

How did you brush Varofakis? Is he calling you in to do some anesthesia on the Greek nation before Germany and the Euro bankers conduct some serious surgery?
When he was just getting started, Bill Watterson. I wonder how many know the origin of the title of his legendary comic strip?
I must admit that I was unimpressed with his early work, so I didn't see the brilliance of Calvin and Hobbes coming. It was like hearing Love Me Do and inferring that the same guys would soon create In My Life and Paperback Writer, or even Help! I don't have ears like that.

I think that is fairly widely known among serious fans. Elsewhere, probably not.
Anyhoo, for those wondering, he named them after austere anti-papist theologian John Calvin and dour philosopher Thomas Hobbes, known for his dim view of human nature. Watterson's sly sense of humor...
Actually, the origin was a particular freshman political science class at Kenyon College in 1976 that included the original work of these authors as texts. Memory fades, but most likely a particular assignment for a paper. I recall that mine was original, quirky and brilliant, but his not so much. The world somehow sees it differently.
