I spotted Saul Williams once, in a terrible and totally unlikely velvet-walled cigar bar near the Bradley Center sports arena in Milwaukee. For reasons I can't explain, I walked to his table without hesitation and put my stupid hand on his back and looked down at his face and told him what a big fan I was. I can't imagine it was ever true, although I remember feeling pretty convinced of it at the time. Later in my life I became resolutely not a Saul Williams fan, but I was hired to write his bio anyway. I think that was about two years ago. I totally forgot it existed, until it resurfaced this morning in a Gmail search for "Lucifer." This is it, not that you gotta read it, but just so I remember it exists in case I ever have to think of something to say to Saul Williams in the future. What's with the weird spacing? No idea.
