My friends Derek, Paula and I are waiting on line at San Diego’s ComiCon July 2010. We are in line to see the Mythbusters Panel, the first time that all five Mythbusters are appearing on the same panel at ComiCon. The hall holds about 2000 people and we are way, way in the back of that line. It looks like we might not get inside.
The line slowly creeps up and they let the three of us in, probably the last few people to get in the room. It is packed with over 2000 anxious, excited fans. I look for three seats together, but only find two empty ones, literally in the last row. Derek decides to sit on the floor and charge up his iPhone, so Paula and I take the last two seats. We sit down, and in the row in front of us, in fact, in the very two seats DIRECTLY in front of us are our friends, Amy Davis Roth and Phil Plait!
What are the odds? Crazy? Crazier? Craziest?
I hope you poked them in the back of the head. That is pretty weird as the place was packed. I wonder who was there that you knew but didn’t get to sit next to?
