Matos in Starbucks
Matos in Kim's
Matos at the Voice (not so random)

― Mary (Mary), Thursday, 17 April 2003 21:53 (twenty-three years ago)

Ha! One of my friends told me she thought she saw Matos at a bar in TriBeCa a couple weeks ago. He's everywhere!

― felicity (felicity), Thursday, 17 April 2003 22:00 (twenty-three years ago)

i saw tim f at his work (so i guess it wasnt that random), and keith mcd at the buzzcocks show a while ago

― minna (minna), Friday, 18 April 2003 02:52 (twenty-three years ago)

Oh Andy B. on Bowery.

― Mary (Mary), Friday, 18 April 2003 05:15 (twenty-three years ago)

I was walking down 7th Street the other day and I heard someone yell my name. It was Matos. I felt like such a celebrity.

― hstencil, Friday, 18 April 2003 05:36 (twenty-three years ago)

The East Village is teeming with IlXoRs!

― Mary (Mary), Friday, 18 April 2003 06:46 (twenty-three years ago)

Julio pointed out Dave Q to me on Angel tube station last night.

― Andrew L (Andrew L), Friday, 18 April 2003 06:49 (twenty-three years ago)

what I wanna know is: did matos shout out "HSTENCIL! I blame you!"?

― jel -- (jel), Friday, 18 April 2003 07:32 (twenty-three years ago)

haha amazing this got revived.

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Friday, 18 April 2003 09:31 (twenty-three years ago)

Downtown is teeming with Matos!

― felicity (felicity), Friday, 18 April 2003 15:06 (twenty-three years ago)

No, he shouted out my real name, which was prolly even more disturbing.

― hstencil, Friday, 18 April 2003 16:38 (twenty-three years ago)

and was it out of a car h?

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Friday, 18 April 2003 17:18 (twenty-three years ago)

it was out of a LIMO, plebes

― M Matos (M Matos), Friday, 18 April 2003 17:23 (twenty-three years ago)

no he was sitting outside at a bar, sipping a beer, being interviewed.

― hstencil, Friday, 18 April 2003 17:24 (twenty-three years ago)

I was being interviewed by (another) vampire.
(note: this may not actually be true)

― M Matos (M Matos), Saturday, 19 April 2003 11:25 (twenty-three years ago)

oi josh, that was us! We were heading back from the Pavilion Place (saddest of all the Roseville malls) from seeing 'Adaptation'.

― Nate Patrin (Nate Patrin), Saturday, 19 April 2003 15:39 (twenty-three years ago)

phil-two, any idea if that's the same Chris Wu that used to hang out on #Sydney and #triple j on IRC (circa 1997)? If so, I think even I know him.

― Kim (Kim), Saturday, 19 April 2003 17:16 (twenty-three years ago)

S*mon Reyn0lds on St. Marks Place.

― felicity (felicity), Saturday, 19 April 2003 23:24 (twenty-three years ago)

One of the people in my English class has met Matos, thru another ILXor. She told me he yelled at her about the Beatles while drunk, or something to that effect. I thought that was the best random ILXor story ever.

― Ally (mlescaut), Sunday, 20 April 2003 01:41 (twenty-three years ago)

clearly I must leave New York

― M Matos (M Matos), Sunday, 20 April 2003 07:42 (twenty-three years ago)

i shall replace you

― gareth (gareth), Sunday, 20 April 2003 08:06 (twenty-three years ago)

*offers Matos a flat in leafy SW London (in September, anyway)

― Mark C (Mark C), Sunday, 20 April 2003 10:25 (twenty-three years ago)

chris motherfucking wu?! i know him too. and so does electric sound of jim. and everybody on the planet!

― minna (minna), Sunday, 20 April 2003 11:15 (twenty-three years ago)

yeah! it seems like everyone and their momma knows [...and loves] chris. i met him via sinister, and he stayed at my place in new york for three weeks, so when i was in sydney, he let me stay at his parents'. was great. his popfrenzy night seems to be going really well. sleepy jackson [or is it sleepy township?] just played, and they have ARE Weapons coming up... which is pretty big, i guess.

i even know this australian girl [miyuki/MJ] from my university in new york who knew chris back from sydney. its strange.

― phil-two (phil-two), Sunday, 20 April 2003 11:53 (twenty-three years ago)

Matos v. Chr1s Wu ubiquity FITE!

― felicity (felicity), Sunday, 20 April 2003 14:29 (twenty-three years ago)

No one ever sees me anywhere. Maybe I'm invisible!

― Jody Beth Rosen (Jody Beth Rosen), Sunday, 20 April 2003 14:46 (twenty-three years ago)

Me neither, Jody. We can be invisible together.

― rosemary (rosemary), Sunday, 20 April 2003 16:03 (twenty-three years ago)

There's something incredibly weird and sinister about the way gareth said he was going to replace Matos.

― Ally (mlescaut), Sunday, 20 April 2003 17:55 (twenty-three years ago)

With the exception of bumping into Pete, Emma and Alan in King's Cross once, I don't think I've ever just randomly come across an ILXer in London, which is amazing when you consider the place is full of the buggers.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Sunday, 20 April 2003 18:06 (twenty-three years ago)

See above - perhaps they're hiding from you too, Matt.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Sunday, 20 April 2003 18:27 (twenty-three years ago)

I saw this girl out last night who must be di's Australian double. she was wearing a T Rex t-shirt and everything

― electric sound of jim (electricsound), Sunday, 20 April 2003 23:51 (twenty-three years ago)

hstencil at kim's. who then witnessed the ~~shame~~ joy of me buying the my so-called life dvd box set.

― Mary (Mary), Monday, 21 April 2003 02:00 (twenty-three years ago)

No shame in your game, girl. I just ended up getting that Can CD, nothin' else. Did buy a copy of Cities of the Red Night on the street by NYU, tho.

― hstencil, Monday, 21 April 2003 04:08 (twenty-three years ago)

Hooray! Finally I can contribute to this thread!

I saw Anna on the street outside Handsome SoundArtist's flat! I almost didn't recognise her with her cute new haircut, but I recognised her musical note bag!

― kate, Thursday, 24 April 2003 07:19 (twenty-three years ago)

Me neither, Jody. We can be invisible together.

Lies, Rosemary! I saw you once at Other Music - we were both standing in front of the Belle & Sebastian "I'm Waking Up to Us" EP and talking about The Happy Hooker because you were on your way to Fez to see a reading.., and you were wearing fishnet stockings.

― phil-two (phil-two), Thursday, 24 April 2003 08:03 (twenty-three years ago)

What was Anna doing outside HSA's flat?!? Are you suspicious?

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Thursday, 24 April 2003 19:08 (twenty-three years ago)

I haven't seen them, but apparently I have been working a block away from Martin, Pete, and Julio for the last two months.

― Nordicskillz (Nordicskillz), Tuesday, 29 April 2003 08:35 (twenty-three years ago)

Before that, I worked just up the road for two years - the number of times I probably passed one of them on the street...

― Nordicskillz (Nordicskillz), Tuesday, 29 April 2003 08:36 (twenty-three years ago)

Martin, don't cause trouble.

― kate, Tuesday, 29 April 2003 08:40 (twenty-three years ago)

hstencil on Ave. A

― felicity (felicity), Wednesday, 30 April 2003 02:56 (twenty-three years ago)

I saw Gareth's disembodied head floating evilly over my city on his way to Los Angeles.

― Sean Carruthers (SeanC), Wednesday, 30 April 2003 03:00 (twenty-three years ago)

― Mary (Mary), Wednesday, 30 April 2003 03:04 (twenty-three years ago)

Not only white jeans, but with MY DATE!

― hstencil, Wednesday, 30 April 2003 04:14 (twenty-three years ago)

ha ha you always be having a date

― Mary (Mary), Wednesday, 30 April 2003 04:15 (twenty-three years ago)

By the evidence of this thread, I am the most spotted ILxOr in London. Its my out and about and garoulous stylings to be sure.

― Pete (Pete), Wednesday, 30 April 2003 08:07 (twenty-three years ago)

you're always spotted bcz you have a gorgeous girl with you pete. you're a playa.

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Wednesday, 30 April 2003 08:29 (twenty-three years ago)

What was Anna doing outside HSA's flat?!? Are you suspicious?

-- Martin Skidmore

Stop stiring Skidmore. I was around there due to my total inability to ever find the AKA bar. I thought getting off at Russell Square and walking would dothe trick. It didn't.

Thanks for the haircut props Kate. I didn't think it made that much difference, but about four or five people have also failed to recognise me.

― Anna (Anna), Wednesday, 30 April 2003 08:53 (twenty-three years ago)

I'm a playa only because life's a beach.

― Pete (Pete), Wednesday, 30 April 2003 09:49 (twenty-three years ago)

Anna, you're better off getting off at Holborn and following the westbound buses to that corner where Bloomsbury Way becomes New Oxford Street - I think the Old Crown pub is there next to a Winkworth etc, and the carpark. You will then see the clear way to AKA and The End.

― suzy (suzy), Wednesday, 30 April 2003 09:53 (twenty-three years ago)

Or doing exactly the same from TCR tube walking past Arguus and then turning right at the Old Crown.

Though isn't Russell Square lovely at the moment.

I hope you were able to pool your medical expertise and help those poor people on the screen with their chronic laryngitis.

Pretty sure I sat near Tom E on a train last night but I don’t know him only recognized from either here or on FB so I didn’t say hello. Also, I might be wrong.

Met user Colonel Poo at Another Thought yesterday in Walthamstow. I waited for a hit as NickB was at the bar and we'd never met but sorry, NickB, in the end had to head off. Also saw user Carsmile Steve across a crowd tho didn't get to say hello.

Great fun festival tho, had a lovely day!
