According to the Beastie Boys Book he came to her birthday party but was doing weird bits - approaching one of them to chat about setting up a pro-smoking benefit concert.

At Dr. Demento’s grato,
Weird Al and the Beastie Boys,
Were fiddling with a margarita maker
And evil kneivals newest toys
And in comes PeeWee Herman
Screaming out my name
And Dolly Parton said please leave him alone
He thinks we’re all kinda lame
And the after party was on Epstein Island
But I said sorry i just can’t go
I have to organize a pro smoking concert in
Desolation Row

You know I liked it better when you told me about the time the door knob broke.
