The band Here We Go Magic were driving to Ohio when they picked up a hitchhiker. That hitchhiker turned out to be filmmaker John Waters. Their bassist Jen Turner, tweeted about the bizarre, but amazing added-passenger experience.

Gawker has more details, after the band mailed their label and the label forwarded the story to the website.

Then Dlisted has this amazing group shot:

Apparently Waters hitchhikes all the time. He didn’t tell the band where he was going other than saying he was off “into the wild blue yonder”.
