I still regret not asking if I could do a bump with him
One night in Vancouver, a couple friends and I went down to a sports club on Robson Street. Back then, Robson was more a place to grab a meal and do some shopping, not really a hotspot for watching boxing matches, so we thought it would be a good spot to catch Prince Hamid fight and still get good seats by a television.
It was an upstairs sports bar, and it was pretty quiet. Prince Hamid was getting tuned on. I went to the bathroom during one of the breaks and guess who is bumping lines right there on the on the sink but old Gary Busey. It was getting towards summer time, so it was still bright outside, about 7 or 8 at night, and Busey is just flying.
Hair all crazy, big smile, happy as a birthday. I didn't say anything to him but he was friendly to me, just talking about nothing. He talked a bit to my buddy later on, also in the bathroom, but I can't remember what my friend said they talked about (my buddy didn't even know who he was, just called him that crazy coked up guy).
I remember Busey was wearing a light but really bright blue shirt and that his smile was just out of control.
Funny thing was I saw him on television maybe six months later talking about about how he'd been clean and sober for 2 or 3 years. Yeah bud. I still regret not asking if I could do a bump with him. :(
