Things People Have Actually Said About Me

  • "You're one of the good ones"

    Said while discussing fans of the Mountain Goats who he has met.
    Also one time he DM'd me on twitter and said "buddy I happened across 'father's day' and it just nailed me right in the damn chest. great work." Coming from the guy who wrote The Sunset Tree, you better believe that means a whole lot.

  • “...hip-looking black guy"

    He told the venue staff to look for a man under this description to bring me to the green room. And I gotta be honest, for the people in line for the Hank Green comedy show, he gave a description that narrowed it down to me.

  • "It’s nice that he’s strong and can lift things"

    My friend Kal's dad after I helped them move stuff up 5 flights of stairs into a new apartment.

  • “Sorta gay lookin guy, great mustache, really cool [Seattle Pilots] jersey, he’s gotta really know baseball!”

    My friend Abby's dad described me this way after I attended Abby's wedding reception that was hosted in a baseball stadium.
