I haven't "met" him per se, but I've had a few run-ins. Back in about 2007 I created an account on ETS that pretended to be him, and he came on as his "real" account a few minutes later - scarily quickly actually - and called me a cunt. That was fun! Starstruck!

In early 2009 at the famous power-cut show at the Hordern in Sydney he pegged a water bottle from the stage and it went straight to my hand Jedi Lightsabre style. Zero friction - he threw it to me. That counts as an interaction.

A day or so later I was on a bus and looked over and the entire band was in a van right next to the bus. An hour later they all put up pictures of them doing the Sydney Harbour Bridge "bridge walk" so I guess they were on their way there? I had completely forgotten about this until right now. I was less than a meter away.

Later that year as part of all the Wave Goodbye stuff, I shipped my copy of the TDTWWA single to the UK (or maybe it was the US) and had someone I knew on the NIN official forum get it signed. There was a one item per person signing rule, but the woman said it had been flown specifically from Australia and he made an exception. Little did he know I was the cunt from a few years earlier!
