Once I drank gin and tonic with this internet person named Sarah that I'd been admiring for eons from afar, then unexpectedly encountered in a warehouse loft. We sat on a couch and I was surrounded by people whose amazingness was kind of overwhelming, so I sat there and listened to them yabber on about things that I can't remember now. The internet person named Sarah mentioned this ice cream shop that was pretty much the scene of my most pleasant childhood memories, and she had this great smile, and she was totally cool, and in sum I'm glad I finally got to meet her, even if it took me like an hour to put two and two together and figure out who she was.
i actually thought of you today, so here's that memory. i don't know why, but i was thinking of the pressure people like artists or whatever put on themselves after a good success, like that dave chapelle going crazy thing, and then i think i saw an ad for that harry potter movie stuff, which i never was able to follow, and then i thought of the sequels to x men, and how the director left doing part 3 by doing superman or something, and then i thought "now that guy has a lot of friggin pressure. how do you handle that shit?" so i thought about x men 2 being good for what it was, and then i thought x men 1 being meh, and then i was like "how long ago was that? oh, i saw it with sarah. damn, that was a long time ago." and then i thought about how we saw it just because my room mate really wanted to see it and we hated him. so it was nice you got to share in my geekery and my dickery. and then on and on and on
i remember driving over the bay bridge (or whatever bridge that was) with you and whitney and seeing the most beautiful sunset. also, hanging out with you at the coffee cart with the ugly puppet.
i remember more my idea of you. i remember hearing about your zine and actually receiving it in the mail and being so excited, back when i thought i could do a decent one and i wanted so badly to be carried by a distro and had every random zine kid who never met me on a mountain in my mind. and you were there, you, and you're still this cool person out there just keeping it real, and it's nice to remember that kids like you exist, and are nice enough to let me peek in every now and again, look at old photocopies, and say, "see?"

A line from an old comic strip about your high school that said "I am also quite a bit teased."
Fast forward like 8 years later and I'm meeting you in a bar in San Francisco. Who'd a thunk it?
