The thing i get the most [in public] is, 'hey, eugene.' you know what i mean? there's no catch phrase like: 'what a week i'm having.' people will actually just say, 'hey, eugene' or 'hi, eugene.' it's a great thing; they feel that comfortable calling me by my first name. it's not being forward. it depends how you say it. i think they can't help themselves. they think they know me. i find it gratifying.
