Accidentally meeting PJ fans
Ever just happen to meet someone who is a TC member, out of the blue?
Today I just had a customer in my gallery/frame shop who hadn't been in for a few years. As I'm writing up his frame order, he see's a curled up poster of mine on the counter and says "oh, I have a bunch of posters to frame another day". I say "oh, I kinda collect posters, this is a PJ one". He was surprised, since he has about ten of them. Apparently he's a huge fan and been in the TC since the early early days. We swapped stories for about 30 minutes. He toured Europe to see them and his wife had a quick close-up in the Cornice video.
Anyway - anyone else bump into other fans just in everyday life?

A member of staff at my uni was also wearing an old school '92 stickman shirt so i told him good shirt! He was too busy with another student for a chat.
Was just out like you do.. and i saw this dude by the bar wearing a no code shirt, i was like what the fuuck (to myself) eventually wont over to him and talked to him. Found out is a 10c member and lives about 20 mins from me and is from pakistan, like one of the biggest fans you'll ever meet, plan on doing a few shows this summer infact. Come August last year I hadnt seen him for months and i lost my mobile the night before one of the shows.. anyhow it was the manchester show and i bumped into him waiting outside the toilet for my friend which is soo random conisering there was about 20k people there.
she was wearing the buffalo hoodie
I said nice sweatshirt...............
There is someone who lives (I think...or at least visits a lot) down the street from me with a Virginia license plate Why Go and a couple of stickers. I keep trying to stalk them out but have never seen anyone near the car!
Where in VA? I'm in Richmond.

Man, you are lucky I don't live in Richmond anymore because I would make you be my PJ BFF and it would suck to be you.
I actually live in Pittsburgh now, which is where I see this car.
Sigh...I miss VA.
nice to see in Greece young pj fans..

But here's a funny story-For the 3rd Philly show, My buddy bailed on us so we had an extra ticket. I went to pick up my 10C tix at the spectrum and there were 2 girls who were looking for 1 ticket. So I sold them my extra. Later on that night at Flannigans I ran into Barbara out of the blue and she was w/ the 2 girls I sold my extra too.
To make a long story short Barbara ended up sitting w/ my 2 buddies at the show. Small world!!

Hi Spence!
To the guys I talked to: If you're reading this, I apologize if I was forward. I was hammered and got excited.
Just last month was at a Green Day concert and ran into another "I'm analog" shirt, had a good chat with him too.
I always like how surprised they are when they meet me, because I'm only 17. Always fun.
So then me and my new BFF got to talk for 5 hours about our love of PJ. It also turned out we were on the same flight back from Seattle too. He's now married to a woman he met going to PJ shows and they have 2 kids.
