Levi

Swinging in with a 25 year friendship and a little red book that probably shows where the bodies are buried is Levi Garrett. An introvert by most standards, given the right crowd he can quickly become the life of the party. Always there for Dan when he needs him, especially for those all too common trips to the ER. He has been to a vast amount of concerts in his day, and many of them with Dan by his side. 

Fun Story (AKA one that can be told without incriminating either party with the law): At a Foo Fighter concert back at the Key Arena in Seattle some years ago, Dan and Levi just had an epic time in the pit at the show and decided to grab some merch. While in line two guys in front of them were chatting with one another about how it sucks that they can’t go back stage even though their stage manager buddy got them personal passes because they had to both be at work in 4 hours. Dan taps them on the shoulders and, without any hesitation, tells them that they will give them $20 a piece for these passes they can’t use. The guys shrugged, Dan and Levi handed over $20 a pop, that Levi spotted Dan. Dan then has them put their stickers on and says just walk by security like you own the place and never stare at anything, look busy. Well… they get to the “backstage” area assuming it’ll be a mini meet and greet thing. Nope, it’s super intimate, there’s food everywhere and they started making small talk. It was then that we realized we were hanging out with not only the band members, but their close friends and family. Assuming they may eventually get asked to leave (they didn’t) Dan decided no matter what he’s getting his $20 worth and gorged on pizza and cupcakes, almost feeling guilt as Chris asked who ate the last chocolate muffin. Just then none other than Pat Smear walks over and asks them if they have a cigarette he can have. Never have they ever wished they were smokers than that moment. They stayed for a while longer and as it got a little late, folks headed for their hotels and they headed home. Many other fun adventures, many involving concerts. Many will never go into writing, but strike up a convo with this badass at the wedding and he MAY let some embarrassing stories from Dan slip.
