I forgot to mention that Campbell'n'me impromptly bumped into Gravel Puzzleworth and Nicholas Passant on the way to see Neko Case the other week. We then impromptly bumped into Stewart Lee, who was sitting next to us in the hall.

I bumped into Woebot (on his bike) in Berwick Street on Saturday morning, both doing our weekly decimation of specialist record shop stocks, but he's not an ILxor so I don't suppose that counts.

I haven't seen an ILxor in person for months...when's the next FAP?

― Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Wednesday, 14 June 2006 08:40 (twenty years ago)

Perhaps there will be a football one tomorrow.

is stewart lee an ilxor now? i have randomly spotted him at many improv etc gigs

― Ward Fowler (Ward Fowler), Wednesday, 14 June 2006 08:54 (twenty years ago)

SL's always at improv gigs, in his pretentious carpet slippers.

i was in a cab. yes, thats right, a cab

― charltonlido (gareth), Sunday, 25 June 2006 12:35 (nineteen years ago)

I was impromptually spotted by a workmate the other day, on Endell Street. It will have to do, I suppose.

I might have impromptually spotted Rumpie in Paisley last week. If she was at the midsummer fair at the town hall, with a bloke in a red t-shirt. And if she looks like the photos she's posted.

(if that was you, I'm sorry for being the lassie looking weirdly at you)

Gareth, you should have shouted hello!

I saw an exact Anna lookalike on the NYC subway this morning; if she weren't just a bit taller, I'd have thought the real thing took a wrong turn on the way to Latvia.

A New York me!

i bumped into barima on denmark street on friday. he was also wearing a suit.

― CarsmileSteve (CarsmileSteve), Tuesday, 27 June 2006 11:14 (nineteen years ago)

I saw Ricky T again last night, swimming against the tide at Maidenhead station. I wonder if he got on the train that I had just got off, that was going the wrong way.

One thing about Ricky, he always appears to have about three times as much energy as me.

two weeks pass...

Did I see KenC by that funny little carpark beach bar off Brick Lane this afternoon? celebrity dude

― uptoeleven (uptoeleven), Sunday, 16 July 2006 19:49 (nineteen years ago)

Andrew Farrell, last week, near Holborn tube station. Then Kate StClaire, four hours later, on exactly the same spot. As this is right in the middle of ILXor Critical Mass it shouldn't be too unexpected though.

I think I saw PJ Miller on Kingsway the other week as well. I waved in his face but he still failed to notice me.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Sunday, 16 July 2006 22:49 (nineteen years ago)

I was actually wandering along thinking "Matt DC works in one of these buildings, I wonder which one?"

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Monday, 17 July 2006 05:34 (nineteen years ago)

Dave B at the princess louise, last tuesday

xxxpost i don't think that was me! (i was at home all day learning php)

― ken c (ken c), Monday, 17 July 2006 08:35 (nineteen years ago)

The Ken C doppelganger strikes again

― Teh littlest HoBBo (the pirate king), Monday, 17 July 2006 08:41 (nineteen years ago)

It's possible, Matt. I sometimes go to Don Quixote for lunch, and sometimes I just wander about aiml;essly, unsure where to go for lunch. I didn't notice anybody waving in my face, but I would probably just assume it was somebody trying to sign me up to Mencap or Shelter or something.

Also, I thought you worked on/in/at Whithall or somewhere like that, Matt.

It is nice to be impromptuly spotted at last. I've been trying for ages.

I think I might have seen Andrew Farrell one day, coming out of a sandwich shop on Newton Street and striding off into Covent Garden's murky backstreets, but I wasn't sure.

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller 68), Monday, 17 July 2006 08:50 (nineteen years ago)

That was almost certainly me.

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Monday, 17 July 2006 09:15 (nineteen years ago)

Yes, I was going to say that I saw Matt on the Corner Of ILX the other week - same place I saw Ktee last month.

Don Quixote! I just got my breakfast there. Wow.

― Thom Yorke Is My Spirit Guide (kate), Monday, 17 July 2006 09:20 (nineteen years ago)

I'm just waiting to go now. Don't want to shock them by going too early. Or I might get something and SIT IN THE PARK for half an hour.

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller 68), Monday, 17 July 2006 09:24 (nineteen years ago)

No, now you are just inviting us to stalk you, which doesn't count.

:-P

Here's a good one... I went to a friend's apartment over the weekend in Brooklyn. The friend had just moved in, and when I went to the buzzer I noticed that it still had the old tenant's name. Which was Dan S3lzer. So I guess Dan moved out, huh?

― Aaron W (Aaron W), Tuesday, 18 July 2006 17:45 (nineteen years ago)

yeah he lives in queens now.

― hstencil (hstencil), Tuesday, 18 July 2006 23:59 (nineteen years ago)

mmmm, donkey ho tay chicken and ham special with free crisps and macedonian diet coke!! the lunch of champions...

― CarsmileSteve (CarsmileSteve), Wednesday, 19 July 2006 08:56 (nineteen years ago)

i went to don quixote, didn't see anyone though.

― CarsmileSteve (CarsmileSteve), Wednesday, 19 July 2006 11:28 (nineteen years ago)

No, sorry, I brought lunch from home.

― Kaet (kate), Wednesday, 19 July 2006 11:29 (nineteen years ago)

Sorry, just thinking about this... it's not just weird that we all work within about 2 blocks of one another. But that we ALL go to Don Quixote for lunch, even though there are dozens of other cafes and sandwich bars around?

― Kaet (kate), Wednesday, 19 July 2006 11:30 (nineteen years ago)

I went too. I didn't see anyone either. I noticed that they had a few Believe bars in the fridge.

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller 68), Wednesday, 19 July 2006 11:35 (nineteen years ago)

I don't even know where it is.

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Wednesday, 19 July 2006 15:32 (nineteen years ago)

What Andrew said.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Wednesday, 19 July 2006 15:33 (nineteen years ago)

yes you do, Andrew! You went there with me to get sandwiches.

― Kaet (kate), Wednesday, 19 July 2006 15:34 (nineteen years ago)

I'm sure I'll walk past it on the way home and go 'ah, there, of course', though.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Wednesday, 19 July 2006 15:34 (nineteen years ago)

dadaismus again last night, in Old Street as usual, from the bus. he did not see me.

― Konal Doddz (blueski), Wednesday, 19 July 2006 15:35 (nineteen years ago)

Ed in Liberty yesterday evening, buying "Kate shirts" to wear at the upcoming weddings he'll be attending.

― Headspin (Barima), Thursday, 20 July 2006 08:34 (nineteen years ago)

Don Quixote is just down from Burger King, EAT, etc, more or less adjoining... Long Acre? Or the one between Long Acre and Parker Place or whatever it's called.

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller 68), Thursday, 20 July 2006 08:38 (nineteen years ago)

dadaismus, holloway road, this morning

― -- (688), Friday, 21 July 2006 08:33 (nineteen years ago)

I thought Don Quixote was a big discount store?

At the Weakerthans gig this evening, I saw this guy ahead of me rocking out, and then he turned to talk to his friend and I thought "That guy looks like Nick A from ILX! But the guy he's talking to looks like Peter from the Mountain Goats!".

"Sorry, is your name J0hn?"

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Wednesday, 2 August 2006 22:51 (nineteen years ago)

a few weeks ago my internship almost involved mailing d4n s3lzer a package-- unfortunately our supply of music was running low and it was decided that carlos d (!) was a more deserving dj than mr slzr. so sorry dan! (and of course i mail galkin shit practically every other day)

remy spotted me walking home a few days ago.

― rudy huxtable can't fail (Jody Beth Rosen), Thursday, 3 August 2006 05:17 (nineteen years ago)

or perhaps he was STALKING ME.

― rudy huxtable can't fail (Jody Beth Rosen), Thursday, 3 August 2006 05:17 (nineteen years ago)

did you spot him back or were you only informed of it after the fact

― nervous (cochere), Thursday, 3 August 2006 05:19 (nineteen years ago)

he yelled "JODY!" across the street and i went "whuh? oh hi!"

― rudy huxtable can't fail (Jody Beth Rosen), Thursday, 3 August 2006 05:21 (nineteen years ago)

Toby and Collette at The Break-Up. They were not breaking up or anything. Though we had all clearly skived off of work.
