It is surely a small world after all. Even at Musikfest, among the hoards of people coming and going, it's inevitable that you will run into someone you know (if you live local, that is). I have seen at least one person that I know every day for the past four days at Musikfest. Of course, half that time I have tried to duck out of their line of site and avoid contact but I still "see" them.

I have even seen musicians walking around that I recognize. I saw one band one day and then I saw them all walking around with mugs the next day. That's cool that they hang out but sad that they didn't have to jet off to another gig like most.

I've started to recognize many of the police officers and even some of the other reporters and photographers you are also forced to roam the Fest day in and day out.

Musikfest may seem big but it gets smaller and smaller for me all the time. I've got to wonder how many other people that I know have seen me and not said anything. That could likely double the number of encounters I've had so far. It's pretty funny.

I can only imagine what a pain it would be for someone who has lived here their whole life. They must stop every 10 steps to meet and greet. What a pain in the ass!
