As was I...but had no idea Meros and Figueroa were there as well! I did talk with Dom Priore who was there and bopping around to Adam & Co.'s take on "Heroes & Villains"...yeah, that evening was a very good "moment" indeed.

Ah I remember all that. Nothing like getting able to sneak into a bar at 17

Meeting Dennis and Christine McVie at CBS Records in NYC.  This was in the days of my doing my newsletters ("Friends of the Beach Boys" and "Celebrate the Newsletter") and a good friend worked at CBS and another person who subscribed to my newsletters (Marty Pekar) was also working at CBS.  Beach Boys were in town to play at Radio City IIRC.  Dennis was in the building because POB was either about to come out or was already out (can't remember).  I was hanging with my friend (Debbie) and Pekar calls and says "come up and meet Dennis".  So we went up and were introduced, I shook hands with Dennis and Christine.  Marty told Dennis that I wrote newsletters on the boys, and Dennis basically says "I'd love to read them, have you got any with you?"  Of course, the backbone of my newsletters was humor and Dennis was subject of several of my writings, including the "name Dennis' solo album" contest where the winning entry was "I Was Born With A c*ck Instead of a Brain".  I can't show this stuff to Dennis so Debbie and I go to her desk and frantically rip out all offensive Dennis materials, thinking it would be a bad idea to let him read everything and subsequently kill me...

We then race back and give Dennis my newsletters, with substantial sections missing.  He must've thought "WTF"?

Man I have to read your newsleters but I haven't found even one in 20 years of looking.
