I was working the West Coast Kustoms Car Show in Paso Robles, CA this weekend. We had to set up at 5:30 am. I just unloaded the truck and starting setting up the booth when as I'm unpacking some tikis and tiki mugs a gentleman walks up and asks if he can take a quick look at them. As I am rapping with the guy, I suddenly realize it's James Hetfield. He was all greased back hair, goatee, sporting his Beatniks Car Klub gear. I asked him if he was a tiki collector, he said he's been into tikis as long as he could remember. Before I could ask him about his collection, two loudmouth dorks busted in yelling, "HOLY SH#T!! YOU'RE THAT DUDE FROM METALLICA!!" Poor guy had a total "deer in the headlights" look on his face. He told me he'd be back later, and the two dudes followed him down the street, amped up, mooking him the whole way. He never came back so I'll have to wait until next time. He did take my biz card though. :)
