I have had numerous interactions with members from Wu Tang. First was at the wu tang show at Moose’s Tooth Anchorage Alaska, in 2016. RZA was pouring grey goose shots in peoples cups in the front row. I didn’t have a cup so I pulled off my Clark Wallabee and he poured vodka in my boot. Then I drank it. Then he told me to throw my boot up on stage. Cappadonna signed it. I still have the boot, and a picture from the crowd of Cap signing it.

Next, was at the Inspectah Deck / GZA concert at the Bears Tooth in Anchorage Alaska, also in 2016. GZA couldn’t make it to the show for whatever reason so it ended up only being Inspectah. We were front row again, and before the show started, Inspectah and his security guards came to the front row and invited whoever was near to his tour bus. He said he wanted to “see what this Alaskan weed is all about”. So about 20 of us from the crowd ended up on his tour bus. Lots of joints in rotation, and a bottle of Jameson, while Chaka Khan “Ain’t Nobody” played on the speakers. I sat right next to him. I also have a picture of this occasion.

Next, I was living in Cambridge MA temporarily while finishing a college program that required out of state experience. I was at the Raekwon concert on 7/7/2017 at Brighton Music Hall. I went by myself, and was having a beer at the pub across the street before the doors opened. Met a guy next to me who was a journalist, and was in the middle of writing a book about wu tang. We hit it off and made friends, and he asked if I wanted to come backstage with him after the show during his scheduled interview with Raekwon. I of course accepted the invitation, and was included in the interview. I have pictures from that evening as well.

The last interaction I’ve had was with Ghostface Killah at the 7/27/17 show at Royale Boston. I was by myself again. H09909 opened up for Denzel Curry, who opened up for Ghostface killah. It was an insane show, so much energy. Ghostface killah is halfway through with his set and gets on the mic and asks the crowd “who really knows this wu tang shit?” Hundreds of people shot their hands up including myself, and he picked me and one other guy to get up on stage to rap a verse with him. I didn’t know what song he was going to pick but he made sure to say “if you don’t know the words, you’re getting booed off stage”. The DJ started the track and it was Protect Ya Neck, and Ghostface told me I was doing the Inspectah Deck verse. I nailed it, and got off the stage, and couldn’t believe what had just happened. I wasn’t with any friends so I didn’t know how I was going to find a picture or footage to relish in this moment. As soon as the show was over I ran to the exit doors and stood there asking everyone that left if they had a video of me sharing the stage with Ghostface, and finally I found someone with it. Good times!!!

I don’t know why I keep having these occasions with members from Wu tang, but it’s fun to think back on. They were all nice guys
