...well... I kinda stalked him too.
I was driving down Middle Neck Road (main drag in my hometown of Great Neck) on the way to the drugstore. While waiting for a light, I see Jordan strolling down the sidewalk, and after a double-take (wtf is HE doing here?
ohyeah...he grew up here), I quickly roll down my passenger-side window and yell out to him, but he doesn't hear me through the traffic noise and the Maiden playing on my stereo. So when the light turns, I quickly pull into a side-road to park the car, grab a pen (shit...no DT cds in my car), and race back to the spot where I saw him. I look frantically up and down the street, but he's nowhere to be seen.
I continue to scan the street, and luckily I spot that unmistakable gray goatee inside the store a famous deli in town. As he leaves the shop with his Sunday-night dinner in hand, I saunter up behind him and follow him for a block, waiting for the right moment. He turns a corner, and I race ahead of him so that I could meet him face-to-face. As he's about to cross the street toward the parking lot, I flash him a sheepish grin: "Can I get your autograph?" to which JR says "We can do that. Do you have a pen and paper?" I pull out my ticketmaster credit card stub for my Maiden/DT tickets and he goes "Cool! Let me use your back." As he signs, I ask him if he knows Lee (my piano teacher and an old family friend of his). So we chat a bit about his days growing up in Great Neck before I let him go on his way
Just wanted to share a cool story bro.
