R.I.P.

I remember when I first saw him perform at my campus in 2000.  It was a really small crowd which was a shame because he flat out killed it that night.  He definitely singled me out because of my laugh (big surprise) but I kept laughing even harder.  After the show, I went outside & saw him smoking a cigarette.  I went up to him & he said, “You ain’t mad at me for what I said about you?”  Me: “Nah, definitely not.  You were awesome, man!”  And he was pretty thrilled to hear that.

I’ve seen him a number of times at the show “Eating It” at the Luna Lounge years ago & thought he was amazing.  The crazy part was that he actually remembered me because of my laugh from that show in Buffalo.

You’ll be missed.
