: About 11, 12 years ago, I went to see Metallica and The Cult at Poplar Creek. At this point, I want to have Axl Roses babies. We are sitting on the lawn, and a friend comes over and says 'Hey, Rachael, Axl Rose is up in the club'. I freak out and go stare longingly for who knows how long. Sees me and waves, I almost die (I was about 16). By the time the show was over, pretty much everyone knew he was there, so there was a throng of people standing below staring and yelling up at him. It is important to state that I was rather inebriated at this point. There was a guy in front of me who was screaming at Axl, calling him a fag, prick, sissy, etc. I go completely nuts on this guy, jump on his back and am going off on him (remember age and alcohol please!). This goes on and off and on, until Axl decides it is time to come down and kick this guys butt. Everyone mauls him coming down from the club. I am rather claustrophobic, so I climb over a railing to escape said throng. The problem was that they crowd turned around and came up behind me, and threw me half over the railing. I am freaking out, cannot breath, losing it. I hear two words 'Grab her' and these two huge men grab me and give me room to breath. A guy grabs my arm, I look up, and it is frickin Axl Rose!! YIKES!!! He says, 'you are the chick that was wailing on that jerk, right?' I manage to gasp the affirmative, and he says 'Cool, come up and have a drink with me, got ID?' Saldy, I did not, so I could not. End of story. :)
: Oh, and I work for Gale Sayers, so I get to see a celebrity daily, also kind of cool!
