Stories about meeting JB?

Ever run into him at an airport, beach, bar, etc, etc, etc? Did you get to speak with him or just shake his hand and take a selfie?
I've had 2 very brief run in's, both at Wrigley Field after he sang the 7th inning stretch, once in '99 and again in '03. Both times, he was coming out of the press box, plenty of security around him, but I was able to wiggle in and get him to sign my Cubs ticket stub. One of the times, I handed him a picture of myself holding a nice bonefish (since JB likes to fly fish) and on the back, I wrote something to the effect of "if you're ever looking for a fly fishing partner, let me know" and gave him my email.
I'm still waiting for the invite......
