I saw Kinky Friedman on 9/30/89
I saw Kinky Friedman once on September 30, 1989 at 8×10 in Baltimore. He did a book signing before his concert performance. I had four of his novels and got them signed.
I went to the bathroom before the show. The stall was in the back and there was no door on it. I could see that Kinky was on the toilet. He saw me and said, “Hi Harris, come on in!”
The four signed books are shown above.
