How We Met

It was SXSW 2008 in Austin, Texas. We were about to rock out at a Nada Surf concert. Mere moments before the momentous show, Dave, having waited in line for hours to be at the front of the crowd, felt compelled to turn around and look to the back of the room, catching glimpse of Amy. Amy, having just entered by lying to the doorman about meeting a friend who worked for the label (but who had already left), felt compelled to look to a very specific spot toward the front of the room, catching glimpse of Dave. She was somehow transported to that very spot. Possibly extraterrestrials were involved. Possibly paranormal activity. Perhaps fate. We may never know. What we do know is that Dave offered Amy the spot directly in front of him. "Well, I can easily see over your shoulder, so we can both enjoy the show." They rocked out for the next hour, and then Amy had to run.

Fortunately, Amy handed Dave her business card on her way out the door. He emailed her the next day from Wisconsin. Much emailing ensued. Then some phone calls. Then some travels. Then someone moved. But we're getting ahead of ourselves... Suffice it to say, we're really glad that we both like Nada Surf... and rocking out.
