(My Celebrity Encounters are about encounters I had with celebrities back when I was young and stupid and not cool enough to leave celebrities alone, which is what I do now, see: David's Law. But whatever, they happened, and I have a blog and a scanner, so here we go.)
I ask you: HOW THRILLED does Jack Black look to be with me backstage at a Tenacious D/Modest Mouse show at SXSW 2000?
He was really nice to my friend Nubia and I when we waltzed backstage like we owned the place (we were actually walking by the green room and he invited us in), but he wouldn't let either of us kiss him on the cheek for the photo because of his girlfriend (at the time his girlfriend was the awesome comedian/writer/producer Laura Kightlinger.)

So Laura, if you're out there, Jack was so loyal he wouldn't even let non-groupie fans kiss his cheek innocently (not that she would care anymore) When I asked for his autograph on the back of the cards they were handing out at SXSW, he drew a little NSFW picture.

(I'm pretty sure I still have the minicassette tape where I breathlessly recounted the story of this encounter five minutes later - if anyone knows how to get a minicassette tape into mp3 form, email me. If I remember correctly, it was quite (unintentionally) funny.)
OK, the internet has finally been fixed!
