I met my first love in LA

So, it was the weekend of April the 12, 2008. I'm visiting from Houston and then the Universe decides to come together and I see my first love, Morrissey, walking down Rodeo Drive. After a few minutes of freaking out and missing him we decide to wait outside the store he currently is in. We ask him, politely in our most non-threating non-freaking tone if he wouldn't mind posing for a picture with me. He says 'yes', and all this time I can't believe I'm talking to Morrissey face-to-face. In fact, I can hardly remember the moment, but at least I have a picture of it, after stumbling with the camera for so long and talking about how I met him in Houston in 1991 while breaking the silence. Then with the sun glazing over preventing from seeing screen of the camera's eye (I know, lame), the shot taken, VOILA! The most perfect picture in the world with Morrissey in a Morrissey-esque pose while trying to remember Houston in 1991 at the Record Rack.

Let me be the 1st to congratulate you. A picture is worth a thousand words. I am a HUGE fan too. I too have met Morrissey. To me, is was like meeting Elvis himself.
Cheers!

        That's what makes the photo so good, is that Morrissey seems happy to be photographed with his fan...not just tolerating it.
