10 Things I've Done That You Probably Haven't

There's a famous person theme here, because I'm generally a boring guy who never gets into trouble or is that adventurous... :p

10. Had a fifteen minute conversation about bass playing and recording with Dougie, the bassist for Travis.
9. Explained to comedian Steven Wright what the difference between a milkshake and a frappe is (it's a New England thing...)
8. Saved Pat Morita (aka "Mr. Miyagi") from certain paper towel doom
7. Gotten Budgie, the drummer from Siouxie and the Banshees (and now The Creatures) to burst out laughing because I made fun of The Cure's Robert Smith
6. Sat next to Bruce Campbell for a good hour before actually recognizing him
5. Saw Radiohead at their very first show in the United States
4. Waved hello to NBA player Paul Pearce as he walked by my department at Yankee Candle
3. Bumped into Nuno Bettencourt from Extreme when he used to frequent the record store I used to work at
2. Bought the first Ben Folds Five cd off of Ben Folds himself

And probably the most important famous-person thing that's ever happened to me:
1. Met, talked, and gave customer service to ex-Beatle George Harrison.

In New England--Boston in particular, I think--a frappe has ice cream in it. Milkshakes don't (they only have milk and flavoring) and pretty much have the consistency of Nestle Quik. I know, weird, and what's funny is that we had quite a few angry customers at Brigham's Ice Cream when they realized they were only getting flavored milk. :p

However, I must add that putting malt in shakes is heavenly...I love getting those!
