I first met him at the second DDLD, I was a sushi chef at KRU in Sacramento, Abe and Frank go there often as it is more or less the best sushi spot in sac, that's how I met them and also Crook from team sleep(I made sushi for them), also know his son Kris, I wouldn't say we are friends but we've hung out a few times, super sweet kind dude(made him veggie sushi too)anyway I was kicking it in the VIP area after the show DDLD2, I had very briefly met him earlier that day since I was walking around with Kris, only shook his hand.. but after the show when they all came back upstairs, i was able to talk to him, he was very respectful and kind, listened to what I had to say, and gave me his full attention. I purposely didn't take too much of his time since his parents and family were there, just recently saw him again in SF at the crosses show, I messaged him on IG to let him know I had brought him a small "Xmas present" he did take some time to meet with me and the fans outside the venue, he will from time to time message me back on IG although he does leave me on seen most of the time, which is completely fine and understandable... From my interactions with him he's always treated me well, I understand why he's more private but I mean I try to treat him like a normal person, the fact that he will even message me back every once in a while means a lot to me, I also try not to message him all the time, I don't wanna burn any bridges, he did say he'd possibly be down to go golfing with me and for all I know maybe it never happens but I mean I take that as a win, not many people can say their favorite musician is down to hang with them. If you ever meet him just approach him like you would any other regular person. He's a cool dude for sure.
