random encounters.
it wasn't entirely random but more just a matter of time, but i ran into le_cassy on amsterdam yesterday as i was on my way to my first accounting class (which, incidentally, is going to drain the will to live from my very being). so it got me thinking about all the coincidental run-ins i've had in new york. for such a gigantic and populated city, i've had a lot. i guess it's because we're so tightly packed.
i ran into a girl i worked at a bakery in rhode island with one summer twice, at two different restaurants, a boy i went to camp in massachusetts with like 12 years ago on saint mark's, my friend al from high school in the rockefeller center h&m when he was down from boston for the weekend, and jason, a friend of a friend, on an amtrak train from penn station to providence. and i've seen skryche in the subway on two separate occasions (once on the 4, once on the 1), but was prevented from announcing myself to him both times. (side note, which only skryche will find relevant: i've also run into ed, dan, and mike on the train, too. it's like an sg extravaganza down there).
so, of all the encounters you've had in nyc (or wherever you live), which was your most coincidental or strange?
