So, I work at Brookstone in the Northgate Mall, right? So, tonight, I was working there, minding my own business, when Jerry "Tycho Brahe" Holkins walked by the store with his wife Brenna! They stopped outside it, and I recognized them (it's funny—I actually recognized her first), and went up to him and said, "Hey! You signed my cribbage board!", referring to the autograph session I attended at PAX.

Anyway, they came in looking for a specific item, to which I led them, and then they continued to shop around a bit. "I must admit," I said to him, "I'd been wondering when Gabe or Tycho would come into the store," to which he replied, "Well, now, I guess." I showed them this fun little toy helicopter, and flew it around, and they ended up buying one, and then I had them try out this excellent foot massager we sell.

It was great! They were so warm and friendly. I hope they come back in again, so I get the opportunity to act like a normal human being and not some simpering dolt like I was on the verge of being that entire time. Tycho certainly is one of my idols, so... it was fun.

(Also, his wife is pretty Goddamned cute.)

They were so warm and friendly.

I'd be pretty warm and friendly too if I got paid buckets of money to play video games and type what I think about them on the internet.

Heh, that's awesome. Personally, I'd hate to meet anyone I considered a celebrity, simply because of the desire to not look like a simpering dolt.

I saw them a few years ago at e3, but didn't want to wait several hours in line for an autograph. Spent the time playing the Wii instead. Still, wouldn't mind having a signature on my "Jesus is F'ing Metal" shirt.
