I first saw Pat at Channel One in Sandburg Hall at UWM. I was pretty impressed, but still not old enough to play with the big kids and go to bars.

Shortly after that magical day arrived (1992), I too, started frequenting the Celebrity Club. (Where, I will have you all know, Mark was even then showering his kindness upon new Patheads.)
My most memorable Pat experience was the one and only night he ever played at The Globe. That was the night I got to meet my very own Pat.

) Yes, I was a little tipsy and still don't remember telling Mark that no, I didn't need a ride...
All these years later, our kids listen to Pat (with some _minor_ editing by us!), know who he is and that he is somewhat responsible for our little family. Yes kids, Mommy and Daddy met in a bar...
