How's this for frustrating -- my girlfriend's best friend Gary is apparently an old acquaintance of Paul's, as well as a good friend of his current guitarist. So before Paul kicks off his tour here in Austin, Gary will be having dinner with them. And it's already been made clear that I am NOT to even ASK for details about where or when they'll be meeting. Now, is that FAIR???
Here's the thing, though... Gary has severe Parkinson's disease, so I figure if I were to try and follow him from his house to the restaurant, there's no way he could elude me, right? But... naaaah, I shouldn't even think about it.
Still... it's bad enough that I know other people who've at least met -- if not personally known -- John, Paul & George (not to mention Mick 'n' Keef), while the only Beatle I've even seen onstage was Ringo! This is just a big Liverpool loogie in the face, Itellya!
Oh, well, I guess I'll have to be happy with having met two Monkees, literally 'run into' Sean Lennon, been in an altercation with Courtney Love that was written up in the National Enquirer, smoked weed on Willie Nelson's tour bus, and had William Shatner buy me lunch. 'Smore than a lot of people can claim, right?

(No, but seriously... who among you has a foolproof plan that I can use to get my sneaky ass to McCartney's table? Come on, you yella rat bastards -- THINK!!!)

Macca is bloody careful about stuff like this (probably due to nutters - and who can blame him) I know he tells his mates not to put his mobile number on their phones...

Poor Gary is crushed -- not only did dinner not happen, but noone from the McCartney camp bothered to pass him a message by any means at all.

My assumption is that since Paul abruptly found it necessary to add a second show -- on the day BEFORE the original date, no less -- that unexpected change in plans completely wiped out any personal time that he, his band, and/or his crew members had been expecting during the Austin stop on the tour...
Nobody ever said it was easy being a Beatle...
