Gaslamp Baller Sighting!

by Dex on Feb 7, 2009 6:08 PM PST

I was at Grossmont Mall today (or that one s___hole in f__kin' East County to Matt Bush), just kinda chillangin' (chillin' and hangin') when I got smiled at by a female! What more, when we made eye contact, I instinctively did my Crazy Dex Face in self defense and she smiled even brighter!

"Are you Dex?" she asked.

Oh man. I been recognized. Do I work with this woman? How do I know her? Work? School? Think, Dex! Think!

"Why yes," I replied.

"OMG! I read your blog all the time!"

Dude, that's awesome, I thought. Then I said, "Dude, that's awesome! Do you comment?"

"Oh no. I have nothing smart to say."

"Yeah. I have nothing smart to say either. You must not be a regular."

We chatted for a bit about Matt Bush and what a jerk he is and she introduced me to her husband or boyfriend who must've been like, "who's this crazy faced dude?" And then I was like, "Well, I'll see you guys at a Padres game!" And that was that.

I've never been recognized before by somebody willing to speak up and admit to recognizing me. I imagine some of you have probably seen me around and thought, "Oh, there's that guy from that one web site."

So, hello Gaslamp Baller Erica (Erika?)! It was nice meeting you and your family. I liked your pea coat.

If this is your first night at GLB Club, you have to post.

Isn't it enough to know that I ruined a pony making a gift for you? ◔ヮ◔

Hi!

Hi! It’s me with the Pea coat. It was nice to meet you too! That was my husband Patrick and the two knuckle headed big kids your son was checking out were my son, Patrick Jr and his best friend Nessa.

I’m so blushing, I never dreamed I would be blogged about on GLB!!! You made my weekend!

You totally made MY weekend

I called Jonny Dub shortly afterwards and told him about it. I kept yelling into the phone, “I’M LIKE DENNIS MORGIGNO! I’M LIKE DENNIS MORGIGNO!”

You're exactly like Morgigno - sans the shiny shoes...

I saw Johnny Dub at the 1998 team night last season.

We were supposed to meet up with jbox after the signings and get a beer but I think jbox got scared and wussed out.

You're the one that didn't come up with a meeting spot

How were we supposed to find him again in that crowd?

I didn't think ahead!

Pea coats rule

And “Crazy Dex Face” would be a great band name.

You have no idea how white I am

What does it say about me that I’m not actually white!?

I Love My Pea Coat

but Sbeck won’t let me wear it. She doesn’t think I can pull it off. I’m only allowed to wear it if we are in Europe or on the East Coast.

Yeah

But mine has corduroy pockets. And there are English sailors in my family. :)

Band Name

See Dex – told you I read the blog “all the time”.
Good band name: “Crazy Dex Face and the Midnight Pea Coats”
See – I told you I had nothing smart to say…

Believe me...

If JBox and I worried about having something smart to say all the time, we’d never have gotten to this point. Better to let fly and hope something sticks. CDF and the MPC makes me think of an indie pop band that dresses very nicely with really subversive lyrics about the state of soy additives in United States foodstuffs.
