He had a couple Urban Outfitters bags on hand and an entourage of four.
I was in there trying to get my iPhone replaced since I dropped t and shattered the screen. I went in hopeful they would just give me a new phone. Eddie, the BEST Apple Genius EVER told me that even though my broken phone was not covered under warranty, he felt bad and would give me a new one anyway. (!) Although, I'm pretty sure there is some strategy going on back there at the Apple Store because he made me sweat it out for a few minutes while he went to "see what he could do."That's when I saw him. John Mayer. He started out looking at the iPad displays, not 6 inches from where I was standing. I saw him, turned around and whispered to my coworker "John Mayer is right behind me." Her eyes got big and she scanned the vicinity until she saw him. She about had a heart attack right there. We followed him around the store while a couple people asked him for photos and/or autographs. The Apple Store was packed (when is it not?) but most people sort of ignored him, save a few who asked for autographs/photos. We debated whether or not we cared about being "one of those people" right up until was saw him walking towards the door. Instincts turned on and I caught him on the way out and asked him for a photo. The conversation went something like this:
Me: Hi, John Mayer? (Why did I just call him by his full name? Total "I carried a watermelon?" moment)
John Mayer doesn't hear me.
Me: Hi. John? I'm so sorry to bother you when you're just trying to shop at the Apple Store. I hate people like me, but do you think we could get a photo?
John Mayer: Please don't hate yourself. Yeah, of course.
Me: Thank you so much. I just had to ask. We are going to your show tomorrow.
(we are not going to his show tomorrow)
John Mayer: Cool. Yeah, you just got to go for it sometimes.
Notes:
- John Mayer is a lot taller than I thought.
- He has a rather large head.
- He also looked hung over.
- This guy dated Jennifer Aniston? Really?
- I can't believe I met someone I follow on Twitter.

You follow him on Twitter? Why? I will say, his show was pretty good. He had a lot of lame commentary, but I guess that's what makes him crazy. He 's an amazing musician.
I find it hard to believe he doesn't already own an iPad. What was he doing in there? What was he buying? And who did his entourage include?
So, you lied to get the photo....Bri, Bri.
And, that was totally a "I carried a watermelon" moment. You and Baby...
Agree: he did look hungover.
But, great job on getting the photo!!
I've heard he is tall..now I know. What are the chances of him being at the apple store same times as you. Crazy.
His head IS huge. And his mouth, right?
And he looks like he just got the crap beaten out of him or something. Or was really, really drunk the night before (which I'm sure he was).
I love that you said you were going to his show. You wouldn't want to hurt his feelings...
I'm DYING at this entire post. I am loving everything about it.
That you called him John Mayer. I'm sitting here, by myself, at my computer laughing. We need to talk about this next time we are together. Probably what I would have done too.
You told him you were going to his show. Even better.
He looks hammered. But, you look great. Love that you asked him for the photo. And I sort of love that he was so nice about it too...I'm a fan despite his Rolling Stone article.
Did he buy the iPad? I'm sort of like Jen...he really didn't have one? Now I'm sounding totally obsessed with him. I'm not.
Sorry I'm so behind on this post...it's been a crazy couple weeks.
