On Friday night I met with Kent and Melody at Miceli’s<\/a> for dinner. \u00a0After dinner we went to Yamashiro<\/a> (which has finally finished their “pagoda bar” that was closed for 4+ years).<\/p>\n

After about 45 minutes a tall guy with long curly black hair came in and sat down at a table about ten feet away. \u00a0I recognized him right away. \u00a0I mentioned it to Kent who is a big \u00a0fan and we were furiously typing away on our smartphones looking up pictures to make sure he was who we thought. \u00a0The pictures seemed to match, and so we googled the man’s wife, who looked online an awful lot like the woman sitting next to him. \u00a0They were sitting across the table from a young couple.<\/p>\n

The man in question sitting ten feet away was the legendary Brian May<\/strong> from Queen.<\/p>\n

I didn’t have my camera, but Melody had hers (which is actually the same model I have) and we took some photos outside (without flash) from a distance as May was sitting by the window in the front.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

I later doubly confirmed that this was Brian May as on his own blog <\/a>he writes about being in Los Angeles on Friday (and he also seems like a really nice guy, apparently).<\/p>\n

Until I researched him last night I never realized that Brian May had a PhD in Astrophysics.<\/p>\n

I guess that champions song was autobiographical, after all, how many guys with PhDs sell 300 million records?<\/p>\n

Incidentally he was wearing an old 70s style “puffy pirate” shirt, which no non-rockstar senior citizen would wear.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
