He and a friend drove straight from Chicago to California in order to make it to the Hollywood Bowl in time, napkin in hand as his ticket backstage.

Come Christmas time, they turned paper napkins into flowers, and cut moon and star shapes out of food containers to decorate a tree.

“I can be the napkin lady,” she said.
