Message: [QUOTE="alphasigko, post: 3654955, member: 8154"] So, in 1987, when I was working for "he who cannot be named" in NYC, and managing one of his NYC projects (100 CPS) I frequented the neighboring bar at The Ritz. One evening I was sitting at the bar after work and a guy sat next to me and we struck up a conversation. His introduced himself as "Bob" and he was from CA. We talked for probably an hour and had a great conversation. We shook hands when he left and then Norman the bartender, who perhaps makes the best Martini in Manhattan, asked me if I knew who that was. I said "Bob", and he said "Yeah, Bob! Bob Weir of the Grateful Dead!!" Probably the reason we had such a good conversation about anything but music or the Dead was because I had no idea who he was! Norman confirmed that the Dead stayed at the Ritz everytime they had a show in NYC. And yes, I knew my boss and attended many meetings with him in his office at 725 5th Ave during the 18 months I worked for him. [/QUOTE]
