In my post about Kansas I talked about my friend Matt. He had is going away party this weekend. It was a nice party. Throughout the evening there were probably about ten to twenty-five people there. There was homemade pesto pasta, grilled chicken, and an enormous chocolate cake. After about an hour or so of wine and beer consumption people started to break the ice and talk to people they didn't know. I met K, D, A, and R, and some guy with spiked hair named Cory (pretty sure he couldn't have been named anything else).
After meeting a few people and talking to them about The Big Three, and about gas prices (now $2.07 a gallon), and about the how they met Matt (all stories contained something about how sweet he is), I wondered into the kitchen where I fell into an open forum on whether or not K should continue to go after a guy she has a crush on. After a few stories, for and against this fellow, who we had then nicknamed Brad, we were all in agreement that he was lame and she deserved more.
In the middle of this a few more people arrived. Some guy that had taken a look at our open house a week before walked right by and did the head nod to me. This was funny to me because he was probably one of the rudest people we have ever had at an open house. And we have head a lot of them. So that was odd. Some girl that hangs out at Stray Bar said she recognized me and came up and said hi. We chatted for awhile, she was super nice, and brought delicious shrimp and scallops. Which pretty much moved her up to number one in my book. At this point I wondered if this is just a really small world, or the odds that people who do similar things tend to hang out at similar places. Stray Bar girl met Matt at the climbing gym. I like to climb, but don't go much, Matt brought me climbing. My girlfriend works at Stray Bar. I play soccer with the owner of Stray Bar. Matt volunteers at an organization called Full Circle Fund. My company made a video for Full Circle fund last winter. Anyone, odds, statistics? Just weird. Anyway, as I am pondering this the back door opens and who walks in, but Roy from The Office. Yeah, swear to it. He walked right through the kitchen and no one else knew who he was. How can you not know who Roy is?! It's The Office!
Supposedly one of Matt's roommates went to Juilliard with said actor (I could be wrong). Small world? Yeah, it was a very good Saturday. Earlier that day some damn good friends of mine got their asses up, travelled downtown, and helped me shoot a video for Coldplay's video contest for their song Lost. I will give you my opinion about that later when and if I ever post the finish product.
ps- Roy has really pretty eyes.
