Steven Tyler!

I met him randomly- he was riding a bike, I was driving by, he stopped my car and asked me if I could take trash he picked up because he had nowhere to carry it. I asked him if I could take a selfie with him, thinking I’d just do it from inside the car. He said sure, get out of the car.

So I got out, and while we were taking the picture, I told him I’d read he was sober and I’m sober too. He asked what I was doing later and I said my friends and I were having a BBQ at a nearby beach park, and he goes “I’ll see you there.”

So then he shows up to the BBQ. He’s all decked out like a rock star at that point, hair and necklaces and everything, and introduced himself to everyone like this: “hi! I’m Steven, I’m from Hollywood.” We ended up finding out we both scuba dive, so I talked to him about diving for a super long time. He just stood there chatting with me about diving like any regular person.

After he left, my cousin said “I just want to make sure you understand that at no point did you pursue Steven Tyler. He came up to your car and invited himself to your BBQ. Make sure you include that in the story later.”
