My friend Lisa and I had floor seats for a concert in San Jose/SF, I think, in the mid-80’s.  At the time, I was wearing a skinny, black leather tie.  I wrote a note and tied it up in the tie, ran up to the stage and threw it.  HUEY PICKED IT UP, READ IT, AND PUT IT IN HIS BACK POCKET!  And proceeded to say, “From a relative!”  I thought I was going to DIE!!!!

The note was inviting Huey to my parent’s house for a housewarming party that weekend….I was so dumb because I didn’t put an address or a phone number.  I’m sure he would have stopped by!

Well, the people next to us were cracking up because we kept dying and they were so nice and gave us backstage passes.  We died again!

We went backstage and actually got a picture with Huey and my life was complete.  When we got home we talked about the night with my mom and she thought it was so great.

Thank you for one of the greatest memories of my life.  And no, I’m not stoned in the photo.  

Lisa Mortensen Bentley is on the left and I’m on the right – note, no tie.  It must be in Huey’s back pocket.
