A couple of Facebook incidents call this to mind:
- Joshua Kosman (readers of this blog know who he is) knows Wes Nichols (with whom I went to high school...and played flute....and read plays) from attending music camp together when they were teenagers.
- David Urrows (with whom I went to high school...and college) knows Jonathan Bellman (whom I know from Dial M for Musicology and Reactions to the Record) from musicology circles.
And then there were Amanda Walker's photos from the 2011 Pennsic War on Google+.
I was interested to see from your Flute review that you also know Scott Marley from of old. I know him from his days as the Bobby Fischer of the puzzle world; you, I presume, from the Well.
ReplyDeleteYep. I thought you knew I know Scott of old, actually!
ReplyDeleteI would have eventually met him via science fiction fandom, also. I have known his partner Dave Nee, one of the owners of The Other Change of Hobbit, since...um...forever.
