So this morning (12pm - morning for us), Amanda and I are cruising 8th looking for some breakfast when I see someone very familiar walk around the corner and head down 48th. I looked over to Amanda and said "holy shit. that was jon lajoie." Of course she said "no, it wasn't" so off into pursuit we went. Unfortunately he was on the phone so we couldn't be rude asses but we passed him on the sidewalk and then we all had to stop at broadway for traffic. That's when we got a good look at him and sure as shit it was jon.

We were both star struck and Amanda was already nearing piss-pants excitement so we just let him walk on out of our lives. We had breakfast and started doubting whether or not it was REALLY him so when we got back to the hotel room I emailed him...

=====================================

Heya Jon,

This morning my wife and I were walking down 8th and 48th in NYC and I saw a guy that I swore was you. I looked at my wife and said "holy shit! that was Jon Lajoie." We proceeded to follow said guy for a couple of blocks and got a good look at you/him around Broadway and it was either you, or a twin, or possibly a motherfucking clone. Unfortunately, you/him were on the phone and we didn't want to be total assholes so we eventually just let you/him fade away into the distance.

I saw that you were in Boston last night and in Jersey tonight so it's possible it was you and it's also possible that some piece of shit lookalike is walking around New York with a guitar in his hand and snatching up vag that should obviously be yours for the taking.

Concerned and Still Thrilled,

Don

ps- my wife is still bitching n' moaning that she didn't get to stop him/you for a photo and a chance to piss her pants.

==========================

He fucking responded.

Hi Don,
Unfortunately it was not a robot clone, it WAS me, om my way to Sirius radio. I'm actually performing at Caroline's on Broadway on Sunday night at 10. Come by and say hi after the show.
Next time interrupt me,
Jon

That rocks nice to see he actually reads his own emails

The guitar case would have sealed the deal for me enough to say hi. You going to his show?

We really want to but it's Sunday night and we fly out early Sunday evening... :(

Put your hands up!

Great story! That's totally worth extending your vacay for.

I'm still considering extending the vacation but most likely won't. I wrote him back and told him if he ever makes it down to Austin, I won't miss him...

Truly awesome story!

I WAS SO CLOSE TO HIM.
