Mike. It couldn't hurt to ask Jason. The worst thing he can do is get real pissed, hang up, and send a hit man over.
Seriously though, he is a very cool guy and might make for a good contact at worst. You never know where it could lead.
He's friggin' awesome, is he not!!??
He's got tons of pics, but I like this one
