Somewhat randomly last night I ran into someone from high school. It was the annual team captains party for bike to work month at Pike place Brewery, which I have always tried to go to because its free beer and sometimes free jersey's and the like.
At the beginning of the evening I saw this gal who I could swear I recognized, but couldn't quite place the name or location. With each beer a new detail would come back. Beer 1, definitely someone from high school. Beer 2 Mr. Millers AP Gov class. Beer 3, Dan Gillespie's older sister... you see where this was going. At this point I still wasn't sure if it was actually our Valedictorian Erin Gillespie or just someone who looks basically like what I assumed she would look like after 10 years.
Beer 4, when me and my buddy were heading out, my friend stops me and says "I gotta know, is that really the person you think it is?" So yeah it totally was. Pretty damn random, we chatted for a fair bit, probably more than I ever talked to her in 4 years of high school actually.
Funnily enough this whole conversation happened next to a table where a rep for Cliff Bar was set up. Ended up chatting with that gal for another 20 minutes or so and scored a bunch more tasty bars before heading home.
