My top 2 I'll only tell in person.
No. 3 was (somewhat) witnessed by another planeteer.
Over a 3 day period I got drunk with Otho from the Bettlejuice movie, got drunk with (one of my ****ing idols) Tom Savini and a Canadian official trying to get a mission to Mars funded, met and had a about a 10 minute conversation with Peter David (IMHO the best comix writer out there,) watched David Carradine's drunk ass get thrown out of a bar I was in (violently,) and hung out with a vacationing hooker who I milked for every bit of information she would give.
Looking back I was young and horribly selfish. This man gave me a key to a door that opened a world I would never have had access to. My only point to being there was to help Misplaced Chiefs Fan do his thing. Instead I went full on Raush mode and accomplished little other than pissing him off. Likely forever.
That said I could type a ****ing novella about the few days I had in Atlanta and it would likely not scratch the surface. This was a Hunter S. Thompson experience if there ever was one and I feel a burning urge to put it to paper every time I touch the keyboard. There is absolutely no way I could ever repay the man for the 3 day stretch of insanity he allowed me.
In fact he sent me pics later to...clarify events I didn't even remember that just added to the moment.
So I will take this moment to thank you, as a grey-beard now, for making the mistake of allowing me to come with you and have the best 3 day stretch of my life...
