The other day I mentioned I met Tommy Lee, drummer from Mötley Crüe, at a book signing for his book “Tommy Land” at RJ Julia in Madison, CT in 2004.

So I dusted off my Pinterest account, went to my ‘book signings’ board and found my picture. This is a photo of an actual photo I took with a disposable camera that day. Luckily, technology today gives us a way to share again & again.

It was a comfortable day and the line outside grew. I don’t know about anything else of Tommy’s growing that day, let’s keep it PG-13, but his book signing line definitely grew. For 2 hours this lady in front of me kept asking me “do you think he’ll sign my Journey ticket?” For 2 hours, I said, “I don’t know.”

The signing line starts moving. Now it’s my turn to meet Tommy Lee. Do you know what he says to me? “Why did I just sign a Journey ticket?” I said, “I don’t know.”
