I was head butted by Wesley Willis there.

He was a nice guy; gave me a bunch of autographed CDs. Some of the ones I remember were a Jesus Jones CD, a Hole CD, and a Pearl Jam CD. I gave the Hole CD away to a girl I knew that loved them, and I kept the Pearl Jam CD (thinking I could probably sell it at some point). I still have it laying around somewhere, along with the Jesus Jones CD. I occasionally come across the autographed Jesus Jones CD and snicker a little bit each time. Bet I couldn't sell it for a penny.
He kept his autographed Nirvana CDs. Smart man, that Rick.
I wonder what he's up to these days.
Every once in a while, I hear a rumour that he's dead. I think people confuse him with Ken (I think that was his name) who died of AIDS.
I did run into his ex-roommate Laura at a Nick Cave show about 6 or 7 years ago at the Chicago Theatre. When I asked her about him then, she said he was still among the living.
