In Person Encounters
These are people that were kind enough not to summon police protection
when I approched them. As you will see most of my in person experiences
were with music groups since I go to a few concerts once in a while.
Ahn Trio
They are three very talented sisters, and they aren't bad musicians
either. They play (guess what?) classical trio music. They played
on campus and I was in awe the whole time, they were really nice in
person and signed my program in black Sharpie.
Carl Sagan
Signed my "Pale Blue Dot" book with a ballpoint pen.
This is huge and is probably my favorite autograph

of the band left. They will pay!!!

Wynton Marsalis
Another benefit of going to a private college with a huge endowment
is that you get to see acts like The Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra
with Wynton Marsalis. I watched the show from the front row and then
met most of the performers, including Mr. Marsalis, afterward having
them sign a poster for me. They were all really nice in person, but were
in a bit of a hurry to get to the bowling alley.
