So, things were a bit awkward this morning at Cars and Coffee, as we were greeted with half of the parking lot dug up in construction. The space was much lower and the turnout was fewer than expected, but I still had a good time, met some people, talked, and of course, took photos.

It was also the first C&C with my new Nikon DSLR, so I was also happy about that.

Was that your white Outback? I thought that had to be an OPPO.

Fuck. I knew I should have said something. I looked right at you.

I was the large guy with the short hair and the DSLR with the white Barber/Lotus shirt.

Haha. I put two and two together when I saw you lean on the Outback for maybe all of 15 seconds and immediately thought it had to be an OPPO. I’m pretty sure I stared at you for most of the time I was there.

So basically we were just awkwardly staring at each other from across the lot.

Next time I'll speak up. Maybe we can hang out afterwards.

Yeah. I’d say that’s a good description of what happened.

Right next to Mr. Transmission or am I thinking of something different...

Are you planning on going next weekend?

Probably wasn’t going again until it gets cooler.

Shit, I understand that. Still I’d love to hang out. What can we do to stay in contact and plan something like that?

I don’t know. I check OPPO at least 10 times a day but that’s not very private.

Well, if you do the Facebook thing, you can find me by searching my kinja name (the one in the link on my profile) on there, and I’m the one that lives in AL (obviously).

You can also find me on Twitter and Instagram, more easily at DaftRyosuke.

Kinja seriously needs some private messaging feature.
