In 1993 I was in the Kerbey Lane South, in Austin TX, when he and a lady friend came in. I overheard them saying they didn't know what they wanted, so I had the waiter send over a plate of this really good bread that Kerbey Lane makes. Good for snacking on or an appetizer. When he was ringing out, he came over and thanked me. Nice guy. Every bit as rangy looking in person as on TV though. I also used to work with one of his daughter's buddies at a pizza joint in Austin.
Between the music industry and our newly burgeoning film industry, there are so many celebrities and musicians in Austin that running into one is nice but not a huge thing. My friend attended a filming party where kate Winslet, Kate Beckinsale and Cate Blanchette were all present. I wasn't allowed to go, because if I had, I certainly would have died in a messy explosion from the front of my pants.
