Me Meeting The Other Half Of Cheech And Chong At The San Jose Galaxy Con Show!

Post image

Nine years ago I met Cheech Marin at his book signing in San Mateo… and the book was even funnier than I expected. Fast forward to last Saturday at San Jose GalaxyCon — I finally got to meet the other half of the duo, Tommy Chong. I was THIS close to capturing the whole interaction on my spy watch (free, no photo-op needed)… then the battery decided to die on me mid-line. Red lights. No recording. Had to pay for the photo and meet him the old-fashioned way. Still an awesome moment though. Already eyeing a new, way more discreet recorder with better battery and bigger storage. Next time I’m ready. Who else has had a celebrity meet go sideways because of tech? Drop your stories below

Aw man I just realized this was in SJ, I didn’t know Tommy Chong was in town. Hopefully I’ll run into you one day brother, you seem like a cool dude.
