I met Andy Bates!
And it was in a totally non-JoCo context.
His kids go to the same school as mine, and I spotted him at our Fall Festival this past Saturday.
How weird is that?
Funny exchange as I remember it:
We didn't get to talk much, as I had abandoned chasing my 5-year old son once I saw Andy Bates, and had to resume the chase.

Funny exchange as I remember it:
Me: Hey, are you Andy Bates?Summary: It's hard out here for an Andy Bates.
AB [a little surprised]: Yes...
Me: Cool -- I know you from the Internet. Well, the Jonathan Coulton DVD actually.
AB, pleased, turns to his wife and daughter: Hey! He knows me from the DVD!
AB's wife and daughter stare blankly.
AB: The Jonathan Coulton DVD!
Wife and daughter go back to whatever they were talking about.
[Small talk between AB and me about who I am, what grade/class my son is in, etc etc.]
[AB's son comes up to him.]
AB to son: Hey -- he knows me from the DVD!
Again with not so much recognition/concern from AB's son.
