Moshing to Mastodon with Mickey

I first met Mickey Hess in the pit at a Mastodon concert. This was 2004, and they had just released Leviathan. As soon as "Blood and Thunder" erupted, I charged into the pit, flailing my arms and legs. During my escapade, which Brian Posehn would describe as "gaytarded" (see 3:17-3:54), I felt my fist hit someone, and when I turned to see who I hit, I saw Mickey, who promptly punched me in the face, knocking my glasses onto the floor. I'd hit his glasses off, too, so we both picked up the pair nearest us, not realizing that we had grabbed each other's. I put on his glasses and he put on mine--same prescription!--and we kept each other's. Now Mickey Hess has written a book titled The Novelist & the Rapper, due out on February 15, 2012, that is available for pre-order with free shipping for only $15.
