Allen is indeed the guy

He was the BMOC during my undergrad days, loved by all. I happened to run into him one day at the old bookstore. Yes, there I was, just a normal schlep perusing the goods, when I notice ALLEN PINKETT there next to me. So I struck up a conversation. I am nobody and he is ALLEN PINKETT!! I was nervous as hell and he could not have been more gracious and funny and warm. I was already a huge fan but left that encounter absolutely thrilled. I told all the dudes in my dorm - it made my day, my week my year.

All class, Allen Pinkett.

The story in the link is just perfect and is a great example of who Allen is. Also a nice Emil reference.
