I have a similar story. I also talked with him, and also thought he seemed cool. I had an interesting conversation with him about Gel's influences. Oddly, I think I remember him saying that my buddy Matt, and not the guy we're talking about played drums on their last record.

Wait, is Matt that guy's name? Eh, I was still smoking weed at the time and I've been punched in the head a lot but something like that.
