"I know this is off the wall. But do you own an Audi?"
Last night, decided to attend a dress herearsal of a one woman play on the Holocaust. I got there and it looked like I may be the only person in this small room watching and decided instead to have a beer at a corner bar.
Sitting there, I asked the man next to me how old the bar itself is, I have an interest in old bars. We talk some more and we shake hands and I tell him my first name. Never once mention cars in the conversation. So this guy says, "I know this is off the wall. But do you own an Audi?"
I'm floored and say yes..He says, "You're Audi-Sav...I'm ReyHey"
Still laughing at the randomness and beauty of meeting another Audi guy like that..
Nice meeting you Richard.
I'll see you there again for another beer or two.

Damn. Now I need to find another bar where nobody knows me, and not go that often. 8-)
No kidding, what a trip!
Over the year/months we've exchanged comments here.
Once you mentioned of "a great bar at the opposite end of Valencia" Prior to that mention of same bar we're talking about here "how it is not quite my type of neighborhood"
So there I am having beers with a buddy whom we'll be going down to Laguna this next weekend for the A1 GP. Just finish a game of pool get a stool at the bar.
The place is full of it's typical Friday night crowd, Bike Messangers, left-over Dot-Commers, Lesbian couples, School Teachers, Port Execs, Stanford grads, writers.......quite the mixed bag as you might guess.
So here sits down this guy. Never seen him before. Polished compared to the environs, but yet comfortable being there was my read. Conversation opens up. I ask a couple of my buddies about the bar as I'm not all knowing as they might be. They've been a fixture there far longer than I.
And it just dawned on me...........
Polished guy, creative style look about him, comfortable within such a strange (to many) crowd in a FUNKY, but very mellow bar in what has been called, "The Lower Intestine of The New Bohemia" by some local writer a few years back.......
Hey, you wouldn't happen to own an Audi?
Blah blah blah............you know the rest.
All came together from bits and pieces of conversations HERE. Age/occupation polls, San Francisco eating place options, Winery reccomendations...........
Paul very trippy indeed How. But excellent to put a face to the intraweb commentary!
Sorry I didn't think you were Quentin Terrantino, he apparently came in later that night. Although I'm told a buddy did ask him if he was Uma Thurman! 8-)
