This isn't an April Fools' thing, promise.
So yesterday I got a pair of new headphones (Panasonics, because I'm an audiophile with sophisticated tastes...and a small wallet), and I decided to break them in on the bus this morning. I get the window seat and settle down for my ride to my University, and, after TURN DOWN FOR WHAT, used "Loose Ends" to get an idea for how well this pair could handle dynamic sound.
What I didn't realize was how much sound actually leaked out of these 'phones, and I forgot what's considered appropriate volume for over-ears that don't cancel sound(previously had ear-buds). So bam, thenewgreen's honey-suckle voice starts up in clear listening range of most of the seats around me, including the pretty redhead that just sat next to me.
She asked me who I was listening to and that she dug it, we had a conversation, and now I'm getting coffee on Thursday.
Thanks TNG, you're doing God's work
That put a huge grin on my face! Glad to be of service and good luck on the date. If you two end up getting married, I'll play it at your wedding :-)
You don't know this, because how could you, but thenewgreen loves redheads. It's cosmic.
Confirmed, just the ladies. I'm an open-minded guy but that's just not my thing regardless of haircolor.
Hahahahahaha. I'll have a badger with you refugee! BTW, are you coming to North Carolina the weekend of April 11-13?
I'm staying at Duke Tower Condominiums with my folks. Its a quaint little condo hotel place. I usually sleep on the couch. I can see if there is another room available for that weekend if you want.
I am looking into it. I am supposed to visit a friend in DC and trying to convince her to come along; so it might be one night in DC, one night (Saturday) in NC. However, I am waiting to hear if she is interested. She was supposed to come out and meet you guys at the DC meet-up but had other social obligations (i.e., guests) that necessitated her heading home basically as I arrived at the bar - I caught her for a few minutes on the street. That would be ideal, I think.
Keep me posted. It would be amazing to meet up with you again.
