How Nice!

A shopping trip to go buy pantyhose with his mother turned into a "fluke dream come true" for a 23-year-old mega-fan from Welland, Ont., after a chance encounter with the lead singer of Aerosmith.

Anthony Yorfido, who has Down syndrome, unsuccessfully tried getting tickets for a pair of sold-out Steven Tyler solo shows at the Fallsview Casino in Niagara Falls this past week.

Anthony Yorfido, who describes himself as a "really, really, really, really, really, really big" Aerosmith fan, says he recognized Tyler immediately. He would watch him all the time when Tyler was a judge on American Idol.

"I knew it was him because I saw the back of him. I saw the limo outside. I knew. I saw his ponytail."

The two hugged and posed for photos. They say the singer was at the store picking up a back brace. When Tyler found out the family couldn't get tickets, he offered them backstage passes to that night's show.

I've always liked Tyler. A bit "out there" and somewhat of a lech, but seems harmless.

Now...about the pantyhose...are they coming back?
