Leroi Moore Dies at 46 - 8/19/2008

I don't even know what to say really. Maybe I am still in shock. I have grown up with this band in my ears, on my clothes, my walls, in my eyes. They have been through so much with me. I think one of the reason's why I am alive today is because my brother put a poster of theirs in my hospital room and it gave me perspective. It made me realize that I could get better. I could get better because I would want to see DMB in concert again and forever. I would want to stalk them and meet them, again. So, I got better, I went to one of their concerts 2 months after being in the hospital for a month, then I went to their free show in the city, then I found out where they stay when they are in the city, then I started stalking and that is why I have this great picture with this great musician whom I love at 3 in the morning. It feels like a family member has passed and I will miss him very much. Thank you Leroi for the music. You will be missed by your friends, family and your fans who feel like family. I send my deepest regrets to your family and my prayers.

On a lighter note, I totally met Daniel Radcliffe yesterday with Honey. I was able to ask him 2 questions: The first was about when Gary Oldman was on Conan a few weeks ago and he talked about how he made Dan cry and I asked him to describe that in detail. which he totally did. It was awesome. Then I asked him if he could have 5 bands in a concert line up who would they be. I remember he said, The Henry something band (can't remember), The libertines, the pixies, sex pistols and someone else. IT WAS SO COOL!!! Honey and I sat right in the front row 5 feet from him. he's totally gorgeous, which was a surprise and so articulate. I was amazed by him. After we got to talk to him for 3 extra minutes and he signed the movie covers that I brought. I got him to sign the last movie and Honey got him to sign the 3rd (her fave) movie. Hopefully I will have time to go into greater detail soon.

Thanks again to Honey for getting tickets to that show. Thanks to Miriam for calling me at 7am this morning to tell me about Leroi.
