Back in February I met a recognizable humorist at a convention. By the way, I have this thing about using names in blogs, so I'm probably not gonna say more than that. Anyway, we chatted, I mentioned in live in North Hollywood, and he said we should meet up to hang out. Awesome, I love hanging out with people. Then I lost his business card and it wasn't until the convention happened again, luckily for me a second time in the same year, that I could get his contact info back. So after half a year or so, I called him, somehow he remembered me, and we started to plan a meet up.
This took a few more months, cuz of the holidays an all. But a few days ago, we finally met up! I got there early, but showed up late cuz the clock in my girlfriend's car is slow and I always forget about it when I'm sitting it killing time! So though I planned to show first, he beat me to it, and texted me "Im the nappy haired Asian guy with a laptop." This was confusing, I don't remember him being a nappy haired Asian guy. Even more confused when I saw him there, with his laptop out and headphones on. So... I thought.. well, first time I met him he was in costume... and it's been a while... and he does have a laptop out. This must be the guy. I walked up to him awkwardly, and cautiously, until he noticed I was there. He pulled his headphones off, looked up and I asked, "are you Angus?" He wasn't. Angus was in the other corner watching the whole thing for his amusement.
Damn I used his name. ... Moving on.
I greeted him again, for the first time in months with a smile and "You're a jerk!" We talked for about twenty minutes about his project and my resume, the we got into our broken cameras. The meeting was shorter than desired, like I said, I thought we were supposed hang out, but I did know it was a business meeting and therefore expected a quick business chat and that's it. Anyway, it went well, he's a great guy, fun too. Not nappy haired. And as for me, I think I talk too much.
