One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I had a dinner with the members of Fugazi, the greatest hardcore band ever.

I saw Nirvana live, opening a festival by playing at noon in front of a few dozens people, when almost no one had ever heard of that band.

I spent a night in a kennel. Had to throw away the dog that was sleeping inside first!

Had an affair with Naomi Watts. Very intense. Then I woke up.
