“I used to work in the music department at Media Play. I was friends with the local Sony rep, and one day, she showed up at my desk and said, ‘Hey, does your daughter like Pink? I’m having dinner with her tonight, and you can come if you want to.’ My daughter was around 7 or 8 at the time, and she loved Pink, so of course, I said yes. I was expecting there to be dozens of people attending this event, but it ended up being about six people including my daughter and me. She was the only kid there. We ate at this place that was a restaurant and adult-themed arcade, similar to a Dave & Busters. Pink was so down-to-earth and friendly, it was just like hanging out with an old friend. After dinner, she played a game of pool with my daughter, then gave her an autographed picture to take home, took a photo with her, and signed her leather jacket. It was definitely the most time either one of us had ever spent with a celebrity, and my daughter beamed about it for many years after.”
