5 Things You Might Not Know About Me

5 Things You Might Not Know About Me

OK I got tagged by Rick Strahl....  http://www.west-wind.com/wconnect/weblog/.

1. I was a big time Dungeons and Dragons player. I got to meet Gary Gygax. Here's the picture to prove it:

Rod and Gary Gygax 1987

2. I love pop art. My favorite artists are Keith Haring, Hiro Yamagata and Roy Lichtenstein. I also enjoy Rafael and Rembrandt (The Night Watch in Amsterdam is one of the most remarkable sites to see)

3. I used to own a goat.... Long story but yes we did have a pet goat along with fish, a turtle, a cat, a horse and a dog.

4. My first concert was Tommy Tutone (867-5309). My first "real" concert was Iron Maiden... Long live Eddie!!!!!

5. I met Kenny Baker on a plane from Seattle to Amsterdam. Who is Kenny Baker... R2D2... He is one of the coolest people I have met and I was luck enough to talk to him for hours... Yes I recognized him at the airport in Seattle. How you might ask.. Well I am a Master Jedi Star Wars Geek!!!!!

I'll have to join you in the geeky brigade.  I kinda know who Gary Gygax is, and I would have recognized Kenny Baker on sight.  Plus Time Bandits too.
