Also known as a hang-out for Tom Waits. The main things I remember about it are the cockroaches in the cashew machine and the oddball junk I had to step over to get to the men's room.
Who, from what I've heard, doesn't much appreciate being approached by fans, but has been known to strike up random conversations with the person next to him at the bar (not at this place, but in general).
Which quite possibly would be the coolest way to meet Tom Waits (and pretty much the only way I'd ever want to talk to him unless I was formerly introduced - I've got a real thing about not approaching people who I'm a fan of).
OK, now I get it: leopard=cat from asian & african continents. jag=south american. panther= a black coated jag OR leopard. Panther is not a species, just refers to color. I think.

It is always an awkward thing.

Ah, so I could have made the alliteration I wanted to: panther paternity problem!
Whichever. The picture? So damn cute.

I almost swallowed my tongue talking to DJ Bonebrake (of X).
But talking with Bob Pollard (Guided by Voices) was fine since I was introduced and he wanted to talk about the Bubblegum book.
Oh god, speaking of being a fan, I found out last night that one of my Little School Friends is a huge Buffy/Angel fan. It was funny. He's even the kind of fan that watched Point Pleasant for Marti.
Approaching famous people has everything to do with what I want to say. I can love someone's work/face/talent to pieces, and have absolutely nothing intelligent to say about it. However, sometimes it doesn't have to be intelligent. "My friend wants her picture taken with you." and "What's your name?" have both led to interesting encounters.
I'm sadly lacking an entourage. But I have mini M&M's.
My entourage tends to be a five year old who likes to complain about things and a two year old that waves and says "Hi!" to everybody.
