A week ago I had a couple of hours to kill in between work and dancing so I ended up at a Starbucks on Harbor Blvd in Costa Mesa. It was a location I hadn't been to before but it had more inside tables than the Starbucks closer to work. Since I had so much time I sat there with my laptop hitting all my social networking sites including LoT. When I finally shut down my laptop to leave this guy who had been sitting behind me came over and said he noticed I had been on LoT and that he used to use it himself. He asked if I knew Lisa and Chris. We chatted for a bit and he said his name was Matthew. He didn't tell me his screen name and I didn't think to ask until later.

But what are the odds? I was in a Starbucks I'd never been in before, reading a website I don't look at very regularly, and someone who's familiar with LoT is sitting right behind me?

I just scanned the member list (that was a walk down memory lane) and my guess is I was talking to TheatreTech.

Tall, thin Goth?

Oh hey, is Theater Tech back in town?

Yes, he works on and off at that Starbucks. I think I spooked him the first time I showed up.

Love him... where's he been lately?

At Starbucks, apparently

Well, now you know who to forward those "Maxine" cartoons to...

Yes, he said he worked there sometimes. No goth though which threw me off a bit.

Overheard at Togo's at lunch today:

Her: You shouldn't eat so much.

Him: I'm a growing boy!

Her: Not where it counts, babe.

Well, why didn't you come over to say hi to us?

Sounds like MattMatt/TallMatt/TheaterTech to me.
