Hey,
A friend of mine at work pointed me in the direction of this Missed Connection, and through a process of deductive reasoning, I'm pretty sure it was meant for me. I do have dark hair and have a BFA from [name of art school removed].
I'd love to get coffee some time. Shoot me an e-mail back, give me a call (***-***-****), or swing by the store.
I look forward to it.
Of course I instantly emailed my Misconnecting in the City co-bloggers a message fraught with exclamation points and capital letters. I can't believe it was this easy! Craigslist is amazing!
And then I found out a few things.
- He's an actor. OH MY GOD HE'S AN ACTOR.
- Bennett and Sasha both know him. Wait, are you kidding me? HOW IS IT THAT BENNETT AND SASHA BOTH KNOW HIM?
- We think he might be gay.*
So, in conclusion: Craigslist is awesome, new friends are good, and my life is a web of ridiculous coincidences.
* the jury's still out on this one

You know what's even easier? Asking if he wants to get some coffee in person when you meet them without relying on a slim chance that they read Craigslist. ;)
Ok, I totally just checked out my city's craigslist and someone posted one for me!!! So I guess maybe I can't do my usual ironic post about this. :)
Ok, Mr. Smartypants. And how many people have you randomly asked out in the Trader Joe's checkout line in the past six months? Hmmm?
And, wait, do you really have a missed connection??? Because that is an amazing coincidence if so. MISSED CONNECTIONS IS SWEEPING THE NATION.
Hahaha, ok I totally just checked and there really is a post that looks like it's for you!!!!!! What???? Who knew that people even really used this???
SeriouslY! I laughed for like five minutes after I saw it. And truth be told, I did feel this was a "missed connection" as well since I don't usually meet people who talk about those things within the first minute of meeting someone new.
So count me as the second craigslist convert. :)
It's a day of Craigslist coincidences!
wait, is it the one about karaoke? because i COMPLETELY SAW THAT and wondered if it was for you!!! are you going to meet her!?! CRAZY!!
Ok, Frankie, why are you still reading the craigslist missed connections for a city in which you no longer live?
LISTEN, alex, my craiglist use is none of your beeswax. when we started the project i started to wonder how frequent the postings were in other cities, so i checked those out and, obviously, got drawn in.
So "research" basically. Got it. That's my excuse for approximately 97% of my internet usage.
Seriously, Russell, you can't keep us in the dark about this. I AM ON THE EDGE OF MY SEAT
