Odd but Fun Night

Last night, I met up with Andy (a guy I met at Neighbors the week before I went to Mexico) and two of his friends at Canterbury over on 15th. We all had a few drinks and some interesting conversation. Later he and I played some pool, but pretty much as soon as we started the owner or bartender (some employee or another) loudly informed us that we all had to leave immediately because the bar was flooding and that he was very serious. Apparently, water started pouring down from the ceiling into the bar sometime around 1am.
We meandered over to Madison Pub to catch last call and ran into a group of three guys that both of us knew. One of them was a guy Andy used to date, one of them was a guy I used to date (Steven) and the third used to be the roommate of yet another guy (Jeff) that I dated. Even though I know that there are only at most 2 degrees of separation between any two gay men in Seattle, it still almost surprises me when situations like this arise that demonstrate how close knit socially we all are.
From there we headed over to 13 Coins for some late night eats. I wasn’t all that hungry, so I didn’t end up eating most of my omelette (which cost something like $15). It was nice chatting some more with Andy though and trying to decide if the entire wait staff was totally coked out or not. They all seemed way too chipper at 2am on a Wednesday morning.

Hey, I got through ! (Jamie Sohn also has had problems accessing the blog, using Firefox, just BTW…)
Yeah, I think gay guys anywhere are about two degrees apart - certainly the whole Glen-Paul thing kind of brought it home to me here in the Triangle (if I hadn’t realized it before, with the OTHER Glen-dental assistant thing)… {grin}
What I’m curious about is how many degrees it takes to connect a gay guy in the Triangle with a gay guy in Sumatra (or similarly distant area)… myself, it probably takes 1 (I keep getting messaged by Filippino guys {grin}), but I know that’s not typical…
Oh, a follow-up on the Paul-Glen thing - I’m now dating a guy who also dated Glen a year or two ago… {grin} This guy (Charles) and I appear to have had the same problems with Glen, interestingly enough…
Anyone up for a “how many degrees of separation” chart for the Triangle area gay community? {grin} Right now, I think I’m hovering at 1 or 2 at the most… {smile}
