I don't think I've EVER been more jealous in my entire life........
Well, it was my good fortune that I was invited along on this outing. It was one of the best times I've ever had. No matter that JK called me a hillbilly when I put ketchup on my scrambled eggs. I spiked his Coca Cola with rum, tole him to go ahead and lay down at the cemetary when he suggested it, went up to him as he was signing autographs and in a German accent said, "Sign ze paper, old man", and got hollered at because I cut in on a conversation he was havinig with one of his favorite fans. He's a pisser for sure.
If you are attending the next Fest, don't be afraid to approach him. He's a hoot and loves attention. Not fawning attention, but real human contact. I love the man. I love Willie too. My fave character.
