To continue with TWO threads, i.e., Tom Waits and Celebrity sightings...

I worked at this bar/coffee shop for a couple of weekends in Petaluma 
California.  I was just helping out a friend.  One particularly dead 
Saturday, this scruffy guy shambled in.  He sat at the bar and ordered a 
red wine in his patented whiskey-stained voice.  A red wine.  Merlot to 
be exact.  I brought the glass back to him and gushed on and on about 
how much a loved his music.  I chattered at him incoherently for an 
eternity.  Watching myself in horror, I was finally able to shut up.  I 
told him the wine was on the house.  He said, "No, no, no, no...let me 
pay for it."  Which he did.  I felt like a complete moron. Thank god I 
didn't ask for his autograph. 

Next time:

A big tip from Don Johnson
