M: An awesome guy. I met him on match.com (or m.com as he calls it – he’s embarrassed). Truthfully, it’s been a while since I met a guy whose company I enjoyed as much as his.

Since I moved to this 7x7 metropolis two years ago, I’ve had my share of coincidences and run-ins, but last night was by far the most bizarre. M is a very talented student of film. Last September, at the Folsom Street Fair (my first occasion of attending), he took his video camera and got loads of footage on the wild yearly festival. He edited all of the footage and created a video with very appropriate techno music (Fuck the Pain Away). Last night he sat me down in front of his Mac to watch his masterpiece. The whole time I sat there, wondering if I was going to spot myself in the crowd or in the distance. Well, boy! I wasn’t prepared to see him zooming in and panning on me as I was walking through the crowd. We were both talking about it for hours after that. It was insane.
