March 11, 1994 I attended my second ever Ramones concert. Original dates was on March 13th. At this concert was when I first met a Ramone. I was buying t-shirts at the merchandise area and someone pointed out that CJ Ramone was talking to someone in the lounge area. I could not believe that he was only a few feet away from me. I asked so many people if they had a permanent marker. After I found one I went up to CJ and asked him for an autograph. He was very nice and signed my white Ramones shirt that I had just purchased along with my ticket. He signed autographs for a few other people and the I saw him leave to a side stage area. I waited for a while near that side stage area and noticed a man (possibly Monte Melnick) passing buy with a backstage pass. I asked him if he could get my shirt autograph. He said yes, and went to a room for a few minutes and came out with my shirt autographed by Joey, Johnny and Marky. I could not even believe how lucky I was. I proudly put the shirt on and walked around like I owned the place. This shirt is my favorite Ramones memorabilia (too bad my mom washed the shirt and it faded a little). This was a excellent show. I can still remember Joey saying " San Diego , it's time for a real education...take CJ....1-2-3-4!"
