Ayala said he was headed home, thanking his fans in California and Arizona for the love -- mentioning how seating arrangements allowed him to meet Watson.

 The replies to Ayala's tweet were priceless:

Watson retweeted Ayala's photo and a photo from a fan who wondered whether Watson was jamming out to Ayala's Tragos Amargos. 

Ayala had previously performed at the Big Fresno Fair in California on Oct. 15.
