- Around 2003 or 4 my freinds band jammed in the same building where F5 did and I talked to Dave (Ellefson) once for like 1 minute (enough to say I'm a fan, appreciate him etc..) and I shook his hand (yes, that same hand). I think it gave me special powers for a short time, but aparently I used them up on cheap thrills and cheap women. Totally worth it. I still haven't washed that hand to this day!
