I was working over at MTV and it was so tempting to walk over and have a pint but I skipped out. When the Bloor line was down I totally regretted it lol.

Crap! He was just there! Damn . . . Why can't I meet my childhood idols. Maybe I should Twitter him?

according to google, he was born February 16, 1957, in Landstuhl, West Germany.

That would make him 52 currently.

HOW OLD IS LEVAR?

fair enough

The timing was such that I had to wait for her and would barely have been able to get there and back before she arrived here. Let alone actually do something to make it worth the trip.

She might have actually enjoyed it, but it's hard to say with teenagers.

Awesome! Now if we could only get the 30 or so other people in the video ;-)
