Good post!
I've mentioned it before but I REALLY don't care for Disco. Having said that, I'll go with
Sylvester:

...Cool story. When I was in my early 20's my best friend had moved from TX to CA with her fiancé. She got pregnant so they moved the wedding up. A couple of other friends and I went up there to be in the wedding. OMG what an AMAZING time we had. It was before I quit drinking.......

Anyway, one afternoon three of us were cruising around Sausalito. We ended up at an adorable pub in an absolutely gorgeous little town, Mill Valley. We walked in and there was a band on stage just jammin'. It was Sylvester! We ended up smoking some weed with him....He was SO cool.....I'll never forget that experience....
