(he was trying to hurry to record a radio interview in the corner and I was lingering over the menu, so no harm done)
He was not amused.

1992 I got the autographs from International Beat (after the Beats split) Thanking Me for dancing for them cz the rest of the festival goers were just watching.

Both work related, an episode each of The Demolition Man and Scrap Kings.
I've written a couple of pretty funny books. Perhaps you might enjoy them.

In 1976 at the MidAmericaCon SF convention in KC I sat next to Mark Hamill as they screened clips of Star Wars, which was still in production then. He yakked at me the whole time giving me various details about the different scenes.
