i often spot anna's flatmate in islington borders, it's become my new spot of choice to do maths.

we saw suzy walking in front of our 341 bus at around 12:30 on sunday afternoon (she was walking on a zebra crossing, it wasn't as dramatic as it sounds).

bumped into jed and a ladyfriend, on saturday afternoon, while walking up buchanan street with my parents

― Cathy (Cathy), Monday, 15 August 2005 17:31 (twenty years ago)

no, I did

I saw hstencil in Williamsburg on Saturday night but didn't know it was him until much later.

I saw Lixi at the busstop last night! She was running for a 171, but I was scowling at the lack of 59s. It is true, all London ILX0rs work within 50 yards of that corner.

Do you ever speak to Tom, Toby?

i think i saw laurel on the f train the other morning, she was reading and wearing a yellow shirt with a print. the train was crowded, she transferred to a b/d soon after i got on, and my instincts tell me not to interrupt people during their morning commutes. but i like her a lot and wanted to say hi with no pressure to stop headphones, reading. maybe next time?

I saw Momus browsing in Avalanche on Cockburn St on Friday. He was looking good.

― alext (alext), Monday, 22 August 2005 09:08 (twenty years ago)

Sadly I work a bus ride and a walk from holborn. The 171 is the second leg of my journey home.

― Raston Warrior Robot (alix), Monday, 22 August 2005 09:12 (twenty years ago)

Oh. Then it's strange that despite the confluence of ILX0rs who work around here, you are the only one I've ever actually spotted on the street!

I saw hstencil in Williamsburg on Saturday night but didn't know it was him until much later.

ally c this morning on the way to work

― cozen (Cozen), Monday, 22 August 2005 21:40 (twenty years ago)

Whilst staring aimlessly out onto the street below this morning, I saw Colette striding along Upper St at approx. 9:31am BST.

geeta, 3 hrs ago, taking photos of ~~hayao miyazaki~~ one of the wighnomy bros

― fe7 (FE7), Sunday, 28 August 2005 03:44 (twenty years ago)

ha! momus was on my bus yesterday. we followed each other to a gig too. but did not speak. RJG did, however.

― dahlin (dahlin), Monday, 29 August 2005 20:36 (twenty years ago)

I saw momus, in mono, and introduced myself

― RJG (RJG), Monday, 29 August 2005 20:41 (twenty years ago)

I asked a random man in Mono if I could borrow a chair (a member of Belle and Sebastian had invited me to sit with him and there was no room for my girlfriend). The random man turned out to be RJG. "Ah, we can write about this on the "Random Impromptu ILXers Sighting" thread!" I exclaimed excitedly, and walked off with the chair.

― Momus (Momus), Tuesday, 30 August 2005 04:47 (twenty years ago)

I was there too, but not at that precise moment. It was probably my chair.

― Cathy (Cathy), Tuesday, 30 August 2005 06:33 (twenty years ago)

I am disappointed that I did not see any ILX0rs. (Well, apart from Emsk but that was neither random nor impromptu.) I tried to keep an eye out for g-kit but did not spot him.

― Luminiferous Aether (kate), Tuesday, 30 August 2005 07:28 (twenty years ago)

I read Ambrose in the Guardian Media section yesterday.

― RickyT (RickyT), Tuesday, 30 August 2005 07:57 (twenty years ago)

at last, I'm a man!!

― RJG (RJG), Tuesday, 30 August 2005 09:25 (twenty years ago)

I saw the shaved pubes bear again.

― Bob Dobolina, Tuesday, 30 August 2005 11:25 (twenty years ago)

oh yeah, i forgot about a week or so ago i ran into Dyson/Thermo whatever he wants to be called, at the Eglinton West subway - who i wouldn't have recognized if he hadn't yelled at me since i wasn't wearing ze corrective eyewear, and oddly enough Zac aka Rufus aka Noodles ALSO turned up at the exact same moment and thrust this box of chocolates into my hand which kind of confused me because i didn't expect to see him yet and i'd had a really long day and had no idea what the hell was going on. ok, so it wasn't exactly total chaos - i have no excuse.

― Kim (Kim), Wednesday, 31 August 2005 00:38 (twenty years ago)

I saw that Stevie Chick, sometimes of this parish, sitting in the balcony behind us at the Stooges gig last night! Hacks be dancing!

― Luminiferous Aether (kate), Wednesday, 31 August 2005 07:09 (twenty years ago)

I'm sure it wasn't him, but I someone who looked a WHOLE LOT like Spencer Chow driving south down La Jolla yesterday in a silver Aud1 at around 3 pm.

― luna (luna.c), Saturday, 3 September 2005 16:48 (twenty years ago)

ju: (nun o'ju:) 'ave seen NUTHIN of me yet, bay-bee

― t\'\'t (t\'\'t), Saturday, 3 September 2005 23:06 (twenty years ago)

Luna, It could have been me (left work early on Fri and was in the neighborhood), but I drive a silver Jetta.

I saw JAXON, on Monday afternoon in SF's Mission district at a convenience store! I was buying diet ginger ale and green tea.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Wednesday, 7 September 2005 22:54 (twenty years ago)

Umm, Luna, did you intentionally google-proof AUDI?

― nabiscothingy, Wednesday, 7 September 2005 23:14 (twenty years ago)

oh yeah, spencer, adam's not in SF right now

― JAXON (jaxon), Wednesday, 7 September 2005 23:48 (twenty years ago)

haha, no.

― luna (luna.c), Thursday, 8 September 2005 01:18 (twenty years ago)

haha spencer drives a GIRLS CAR

― huell howser (chaki), Thursday, 8 September 2005 01:20 (twenty years ago)

I saw a 67 gto today and just for a minute, I wanted it

― luna (luna.c), Thursday, 8 September 2005 01:24 (twenty years ago)

― RJG (RJG), Thursday, 8 September 2005 01:25 (twenty years ago)

I thought I saw Porkpie this morning, in a London Underground Railway station, but it was not him. Nevertheless, it gave me a brief spasm of joy, which surprised me with its intensity.

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller 68), Thursday, 8 September 2005 06:41 (twenty years ago)

I saw Lixi at the bus stop AGAIN!!! This is becoming somewhat of a habit. We have to stop meeting like this! People will talk...

― Luminiferous Aether (kate), Thursday, 8 September 2005 07:09 (twenty years ago)

It's Thermo now, Kim - get with one program!

― Thermo Thinwall (Thermo Thinwall), Thursday, 8 September 2005 08:24 (twenty years ago)

RiCKAAAAAY T in the Charing X Road Sainsburys Local yesterday. Buying tissues, batteries and Vaseline, no doubt.

― BARMS, Thursday, 8 September 2005 13:53 (twenty years ago)

En route to the Pete & Cis FAP, Marianna got on the same 38 as Alix and I. Then Colette and Toby saw us as we were getting off but by that point I guess it's less impromptu more an inevitability.

― Sociah T Azzahole (blueski), Thursday, 8 September 2005 13:55 (twenty years ago)

haha spencer drives a GIRLS CAR

I've heard this kind of thing before. I disagree and think it's macho nonsense (reminds me of "disco sucks" actually). Jettas are the people's car!

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Thursday, 8 September 2005 16:45 (twenty years ago)

I mean, should I get a cheesy "boys" car? What would that be? A Mitsubishi eclipse or something? Something tacky?

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Thursday, 8 September 2005 16:46 (twenty years ago)

Now I feel so emasculated. I'll have to give in to peer pressure and buy a TRUCK or whatever they drive in Simi Valley.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Thursday, 8 September 2005 16:50 (twenty years ago)

got lost in simi valley (may 2005 mix)

― terry lennox. (gareth), Thursday, 8 September 2005 16:55 (twenty years ago)

i drive a MOM car!

― huell howser (chaki), Thursday, 8 September 2005 19:35 (twenty years ago)

Haha! OK.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Thursday, 8 September 2005 19:53 (twenty years ago)

oh yeah, spencer, adam's not in SF right now

Haha yeah, I remembered that after I talked to you.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Thursday, 8 September 2005 20:43 (twenty years ago)

the wife thought i scared you. like i was all up in yr face and i didn't know you. i mean, i don't know you, but you know...

― Capital Letter Rock (jaxon), Friday, 9 September 2005 01:47 (twenty years ago)

I was a little confused! When you said "jaxon" I thought you were talking about "jackson" of jackson and his computer band etc. Nice to meet you both!

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Friday, 9 September 2005 19:31 (twenty years ago)

So I'm processing this book for a German class and I notice that it is dedicated to one Nicholas Currie...

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 20 September 2005 17:21 (twenty years ago)

(that author was someone I knew at college, but Nick knows him completely independently)

― suzy (suzy), Tuesday, 20 September 2005 17:45 (twenty years ago)

! A small world!
