    What celebs have you met?

    Well, there's only two I can think of right now... I saw Weird Al Yankovic in concert, and I got to meet him after the show. I was so amazed, I couldn't speak, but he was really friendly and I even got an autograph! Here's a link to an earlier post of mine about it...

    15 years - Where were you?

    I Remember... I was in junior high and I didn't even know that he had died until the news came on that evening. I remember trying to eat supper, but couldn't...it just tasted bitter. I remember thinking "Why?" over and over again, trying to fathom that Jim was gone. I guess what's...
