I was hanging out Wednesday night at Bob Sports Bar on Michigan Street when I saw a guy walk in, and did a double take. After a few minutes, I walked over and introduced myself and told him about how I've been a big fan since my Buddy T.J. introduced me to his music. I shared how much I loved his TV show Dave and grabbed a picture.

I asked Mikey about his experience of meeting Lil Dicky and said

He's a really nice straight-up guy. I'm a bigger individual who could not make it through the crowd to greet him. He made his way up to the DJ stand to greet me instead and take a picture. He stayed for a couple of hours took pictures with most people and just had a good time.

One of my biggest fears is getting to meet people I really like in real life because sometimes you hear stories about them being a jerk or divas but Lil Dicky was such a nice guy and I'm so glad I got the chance to meet him and hope he visits Grand Rapids again soon.
