I was at his world record 30-limousine jump at the Las Vegas Tropicana hotel in 1998. I met Evel Knievel in the lobby of the Tropicana before the jump, where he was having drinks with his manger and Matthew McCaughnahey.

After the jump, I snuck into an afterparty at the Hotel San Remo next door (now the Hooters hotel). There I met Michael Jackson's Father Joe Jackson, whose other son was in charge of Robbie's merchandise and crew jackets. I even got a photo with Joe Jackson.

At midnight at the airport, a drunk McCaugnahey stepped to me at the gate, confronting me because his entourage hear me say I wanted to beat his ass because he turned me down for an autograph at the Southwest terminal Burger King.

I blamed it on my NFL linebacker-sized auto-mechanic buddy and McCaughnahey stepped away. After we landed at LAX I barfed all over a parked car and then drove home.

RIP Robbie. One of the craziest 24 hours in my life.
this is 'merica
